Native French Translator | European & Quebec French | Finance & Business Documents Parisian-born, Montreal-based. That's not a fun fact, it means I'm one of the few translators who genuinely knows both European French and Quebec French from the inside. When your content needs to land in Paris and resonate in Montreal, that distinction matters more than most clients realize until they've published something that sounds off to half their audience. My background is in finance, which means I'm comfortable with the kind of documents where word choice actually has consequences, financial reports, investor materials, business communications, and corporate content. That said, I've also worked on video subtitles and website localization, so I'm equally at home with content that needs to flow naturally, not just translate accurately. English to French. French to English. Both directions, both markets. If you have a project, send me the document and let's talk.
