ONE OF THE FEW VERIFIED PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATORS ON THIS PLATFORM AS BEING SWORN BY THE DIJON COURT OF APPEAL IN FRANCE. HOWEVER, THIS SERVICE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR INDIVIDUAL END-USERS ON UPWORK. TRANSLATION AGENCIES, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CONTACTING ME, OR LOOK FOR MY SWORN-TRANSLATOR PROFILE ON MYGENGO.COM (Rate: $0.15/word)
My younger brother, Rémi, and I were born into an Anglo-French family. My brother is the one who is the true linguist with a master’s degree in English linguistics applied to translation, and I am a French law consultant for a multi-national company based in the U.K – whose name I cannot disclose here. “Two heads are better than one” as the saying goes, so we have decided to join our strengths to provide you, Dear Upwork clients, with full translation and proofreading freelance services in just one fixed fee starting from $0.055/word for general translation up to $0.07/word for more technical, legal or marketing ones, or on an hourly basis. However, if you are a so-called "project manager" with one of those translation agencies thriving on Upwork hungry self-proclaimed "translators", please pass your way! We do NOT palm off machine translation on our clients, and we do pay taxes! On the other hand, we shall be happy to produce our credentials to any other kind of company needing our assistance.
We have seen too many ads strongly declining machine-translation, which shows that you cannot be fooled any longer, while others ask so-called “translators” to proofread their whole e-commerce website content that has similarly been randomly put through such A.I. translators as the Dutch Deepl system, or its French counterpart Reverso. While more and more people have now become fully aware of the true shortcomings of Google Translate as can be witnessed on Amazon, what we can say about this is that A.I. is still a far cry from being able to achieve as accurate a translation in context as a human mind can do, let alone two! A simple example of what we mean is to be found in the translation of “le mot juste”, which is the best idiomatic and natural equivalent a French native speaker will come up with is to be found only in 3rd position to translate “the right word” in the suggestions given by Deepl. But more preposterous than this is the translation of “He read himself blind” by “Il s'est lu à l'aveugle (Deepl)/à l’aveuglette (Reverso)”, while meaningful translations would be “Il a lu à s’en rendre aveugle/Il est devenu aveugle à force de lire”. We will not go any further, but do rest assured that the translation we will deliver to you will have been thought-out by both of us, either in the translation or proofreading process given the degree of specialisation. Therefore, we shall refrain from doing translations into other languages but French and U.K. or U.S. English, while we can also translate from Spanish and German on my brother’side, and Italian on my side.
Given both our backgrounds and over 20 years of translating experience, we can deliver:
°truly academic,
°highly literary,
°legal - agreements between parties, court orders, GT&C -,
°technical, including medical - with all the due checks – 100% genuinely human translations;
°as well as audience-oriented transcreation for the digital world out there, which requires more freedom, localisation and creativity for the content to read as though it had been originally written in the target language to attract the native-language reader and keep him/her browsing your websiste…
In addition to this, Rémi has extended experience using the Translate Press plugin for WordPress websites, as you can see in our portfolio below, as we worked for this platform before when it was still Odesk. We have just made up our minds to have another go!
Finally, Rémi now has experience in simultaneous 3-way translation/interpretation over the phone and ZOOM.
Here is what some former clients of ours had to say about us:
1. "Christophe-Rémi is a very qualified translator, very accurate and attentive. He digs in the content and provides the highest level of translation regardless of the topic. Will definitely recommend him and Valérie." $ 5,897.00
2. "Rémi is very far above what you will normally encounter and most highly recommended, I appreciate his business knowledge as well as linguistic skills. Hire his services without hesitation. $1,244;45
3. "Rémi is a professional translator, and is very diligent and about his work. His communication and attention to detail is fantastic, and I would recommend him for any work requiring English into French traslation" $1,109.00
Thank you!

A Master of Laws (LL.M.) and a 15-year career as a professional athlete. This combination defines my work approach:
- I offer a solid academic foundation backed by a proven Upwork experience.
- I am conditioned to perform under pressure, meet hard deadlines, and work seamlessly in multicultural teams.
Key Achievement: I independently managed and resolved a complex labor dispute in France (pre-litigation). I navigated the Code du Travail, drafted formal claims, and negotiated a settlement without a lawyer. This proves I can handle formal procedures with absolute autonomy.
I am based in France (CET Timezone) and offer two distinct service lines:
1. Paralegal Support & Legal Drafting
Aligned with my LL.M. profile. I handle substantive legal tasks that require deep analysis rather than simple administration.
Capabilities: Contract analysis, regulatory research (EU/International), drafting formal claims, and preparing court forms. Whether it involves complex research or routine correspondence, I ensure 100% human verification and lawyer-grade precision.
2. Native Russian Translation & Technical LQA
I combine legal accuracy with technical adaptability to ensure your message is culturally correct and technically sound.
Capabilities: Legal translation (Contracts/LOIs), Game Localization/LQA (preserving variables/tags), and AI Data Training. I successfully delivered a 36k-word project with a 5-star rating, ensuring zero context errors and full code integrity.
If your project demands this level of resourcefulness and accountability, let's connect.
