🇬🇧 Native English | 🇫🇷 Native French | 🇩🇪 German Linguist ✨ Business | Financial | Marketing | Localization Expert Hello! Bonjour! Guten Tag! Are you looking for a translator who does more than simply convert words from one language to another? Do you need translations that sound natural, preserve your message, and truly connect with your audience? Would you like to work with someone who understands not only languages, but also the cultures, businesses, and people behind them? Then you are in the right place. Languages have been part of my identity from the very beginning long before they became my profession. I was born to a British father and a French mother, which blessed me with two native languages and two beautiful cultures to call my own. I spent my early years and completed my basic education in France, where my love for languages, literature, and communication grew naturally. Later, I moved to the United Kingdom to continue my academic journey, specializing in European Studies and earning a Master's degree in German Studies (Modern language) Growing up between countries, cultures, and languages taught me something very important: ✨ Translation is not replacing words. ✨ Translation is preserving meaning. ✨ Translation is respecting cultures. ✨ Translation is making your audience feel as though the text was originally written just for them. That philosophy has guided my work throughout my career. Alongside my linguistic background, I also gained valuable experience in banking, business, and marketing environments. This has given me a strong understanding of financial terminology, corporate communication, and the language of international business. Whether it is a financial report, a website, a marketing campaign, or a business proposal, I understand that your words represent your brand, your credibility, and your reputation. ... Although I am new to Upwork, I am certainly not new to professional translation. Over the past 7 years, I have worked with businesses, professionals, and international clients outside this platform, helping them communicate effectively across English, French, and German speaking markets. My experience has taught me that trust is earned through consistency, attention to detail, and delivering work that exceeds expectations. I now bring that same level of dedication and professionalism to every project I take on here on Upwork. WHAT I DELIVER - French ↔ English Translation - German ↔ English Translation - French ↔ German Translation - Business & Corporate Translation - Financial & Banking Translation - Marketing & Website Localization - Proofreading & Editing - UK & US English Adaptation - Business Correspondence & Reports CAT I have experience with: - SDL Trados - SmartCat - XTM Cloud - memsource - Weglot - InDesign - Localize - MateCat 7+ Years of Proven Results - Business Documents: 5,000+ translated and localized documents delivered across English, French, and German - Financial & Banking Materials: 1,500+ Financial reports, statements, proposals, and corporate documents translated - Marketing Content: 7,000+ pages of brochures, campaigns, and promotional materials adapted for international audiences - Website Localization: 200+ Corporate websites and landing pages translated for UK, US, French, and German markets - Academic & Research Materials: 1,000+ Research papers, reports, and educational content translated - Corporate Communication: 300+ emails, presentations, contracts, and business correspondence translated - Blogs: 700+ blog post translated and delivered FORMATS : +Microsoft Word & Excel +PDF +PPT +Website Content & HTML +Google Docs and spreadsheets.

It should read naturally. It should preserve the original spirit. It should respect cultural differences. And above all, it should help people, businesses, and ideas connect effortlessly across borders. That is the standard I set for myself on every single project I take on. Whether you require French/German to English or English to French/German translations, I am here to assist you. Let's collaborate to overcome language barriers and ensure your message reaches a global audience. CONTACT NOW!!!

I am a professional translator with over a decade of experience. I speak, read and write in Portuguese at a near-native level. I have lived in Brazil for 15 years. I specialize in legal documents and contracts, for which my degree in law equips me well, finance and banking, business and commercial documents, marketing and renewable energy. I was born in the UK and am also comfortable working with US English. I have experience working with AI training and am working to develop this aspect of my skillset. I have a "classic" British accent and a nice recording setup, so I'm looking to get into voice work. Competitive rates, ask now for a quote.

I am a native British English speaker, bilingual in French, with 15+ years of international professional experience spanning financial services regulation, payments compliance, and English language education across the US, UK, EU, Gibraltar, Malta, and Hong Kong. I offer a rare combination of linguistic precision and deep domain expertise across four service areas: TRANSLATION REVIEW, LOCALISATION & HUMAN TOUCH EDITING — Native English/French bilingual offering review, post-editing, and naturalisation of English↔French translated content. I ensure translated content reads as though written by a native speaker — preserving tone, register, and cultural nuance. Specialisms include financial, regulatory, legal, and corporate communications. I also offer US-to-UK English conversion — transforming American-generated documents and websites into natural, idiomatic British English. This goes beyond spelling to cover punctuation conventions, date and number formats, legal and regulatory terminology, tone, and register. Particularly valuable for US companies entering UK and EU markets, or for compliance and corporate documents requiring British English as standard. Full website copy review and proofreading is also offered, including end-to-end US-to-UK localisation for companies launching in British and European markets. COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY DOCUMENT REVIEW — Former President & CEO of a regulated financial institution with hands-on experience producing KPMG-standard compliance frameworks, AML/KYC policy documentation, fund flow narratives, regulatory licence applications, and cross-border payments regulatory filings. I review, edit, and write compliance documentation for fintech startups, regulated financial institutions, payment institutions, and iGaming operators across UK, EU, Gibraltar, and Malta jurisdictions. TECHNICAL PAYMENTS & INFRASTRUCTURE DOCUMENTATION — Experienced reviewing and editing payment systems technical documentation, API guides, infrastructure narratives, and product specifications for payments and fintech clients. I bridge the gap between technical teams and regulatory or commercial audiences. CURRICULUM REVIEW & EDUCATIONAL CONTENT — Credentialed English teacher (GaPSC, grades 6–12) with experience in curriculum development, SAT/standardised test preparation, academic writing coaching, and ESL instruction for adults and young learners. I review and edit educational materials, course content, exam preparation resources, and English language learning curricula for EdTech platforms and independent publishers. All editing, proofreading, and translation review is human-produced — no AI, no machine translation. For document creation and drafting I combine efficient modern tools with expert human judgement to deliver polished, precise final content. Available Monday to Friday (8am–10pm GMT/BST). Weekend and urgent turnaround available at a premium rate. Fast, professional, and precise. Pursuing accreditation with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).
