English to French freelance translator

A multilingual specialist with a passion for languages, especially Japanese which I have spent most of my life mastering.

I am a graduate of the Parisian school ISIT (Institute of Intercultural Management and Communication). Most of my experience has been with journalistic and administrative associations. I already had to carry out translations while respecting strict deadlines. For example, I assisted a group of translators in translating and proofreading newsletters and articles from French into English and from English into French, the deadlines for the newsletters being the same. Similarly, I have worked as a freelance translator and have proven capable of dealing quickly with orders with short deadlines occurring during evenings or week-ends.

My most recent job as a data entry contributor has taught me to look quickly and efficiently for specific information and to determine by myself how valid a given source is. It has also taught me how to work as part of a team through a decentralised working environment where all communications are done through emails or business chats.

My name is David. I am a French native speaker translator. As an expatriate, I am constantly dealing with different languages and culture. I have a long experience in Learning and development area, working in a Corporate environment and in Global teams. My main activity was trainer/consultant however it included translating content from HR world (communications, training materials, processes, support materials) but also from other areas: gaming, technical instructions for industry, health and safety, travelling, health, blog article, organisation of events, financial reports from NGO... I don't translate word-by-word but I make sure the final product reflects customer's culture and environment. I write sentences as the native French would speak. I guarantee availability, professionalism, flexibility and on time delivery.

Early 30 year old thinker. I observe. I contemplate. I create. Hands-dirty entrepreneur, I have been working as a writer, a translator, an interpreter, a content marketer and a virtual assistant since 2009. Born and bred in West Africa, I speak and write fluently French and English. I also speak Pidgin English, Ewe as well as Akan. I have a keen interest in web design, HTML, CSS and Wordpress. I am quite passionate about creativity as a whole. I like people and animals fascinate me. I like social media and I am currently based in Ghana. I am seeking opportunities to enhance my solid portfolio.

Moreover I believe that my drive to learn more, grow as a provider and with the experience I have acquired, I will be of great help to you and your team.

I have a 9 years experience, having translated more than a million words all in all in my career, not counting all the translations I do for fun because I just like it ! I have a degree in biological engineering, completed by my vast general culture and professional experience in leadership positions in various companies, which means I can handle very well any topic from medicine to finance and marketing through video games and social sciences. I'm originally from Belgium but I now live in Côte d'Ivoire, which means I can do translations localized for both European and African audiences. My mantra is : if it sounds good, then it is good.

It is utmost important for me that the audience cannot guess that they are reading a translation : they must feel as if the document was originally written by a native speaker. That is my objective. I'm also very strict regarding to spelling and typography since French has its own specific rules on capitals, brackets, etc. You won't be disappointed.
