Brief Introduction
I have been a freelance translator since 2003, initially working in France (Paris), then subsequently in Barnet, North London. I have been a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists since 2009.
Prior to 2003, I worked in IT for fifteen years as an analyst-programmer, which gives me an invaluable practical insight into how IT documentation is written and used.

Translation serviceMost translators specialise, usually in field(s) relating to their life before becoming a translator (be wary of translators who claim to personally handle any subject whatsoever).

Over recent years, I have expanded that experience (in part on the basis of my degree) into translating materials on: (There is a fuller list of typical subjects here.) I will always need to see the material before a price and the other arrangements are finalised (see also Prices here). This avoids unpleasant surprises, for you as well as for me. While I personally only deal with assigmments from French into English, I can arrange translations into other pairs, although this may take a couple of days to organise, in addition to the actual translation time. Similarly, I also offer services other than straightforward translation - see Services here.
