I graduated in Scientific and technical translation in 2001. After a short time as an employee in a translation office, I became a freelancer in October 2005.
Scientific and technical translation
The Université de Haute Alsace has taught scientific translation since 1973. Attending their classes helped me focus on translating numerous types of documents pertaining to electronics, information technology, chemistry and automotive:
Patents and intellectual property
- Autonomous vehicles and systems
- Digitally-controlled machines
- E-commerce
- Geolocation
- IT and network security
- Semiconductors and integrated circuits
User manuals
- Computer software
- Construction vehicles
- Household appliances
- Laser engraving machines
- Powerline network devices
- TV and Hi-Fi appliances
Business documents
Some companies with production or retail sites worldwide have their internal and external communications translated by specialists, be it newsletters, catalogues, or other types of documents:
- Personal protection equipment
- Plastic containers for industrial uses
- Health and safety requirement in the catering industry
- Precision measurement instruments
- Air purifiers
Fashion and interior design
Some of my customers know of my interest in historical and modern fashion and in needlework. These hobbies led me to become their go-to translator for various projects:
Mail-order catalogues
- Lingerie
- Furniture and home décor
- Modern fashion
Sewing and crochet patterns
Press releases for the Fashion Week
I also translated CD booklets for a Renaissance ensemble from my hometown, children’s books about animals, videogame dialogues and roleplaying game books.
