"Your way to the English-speaking world"
Your written communication says a lot about your business or brand. To boost your brand’s influence and visibility in the English-speaking market, ensure your marketing materials reflect the original but with the added twist that really makes them shine to an English-speaking consumer.
I am the voice of luxury retailers and food and drink producers throughout France and the DACH region. I can be yours too.
I’m Chris, a qualified French and German to English translation specialist. My mission: to help you stand out in a sea of competitors.
Since 2017, I have helped many companies and researchers throughout France and the DACH region communicate with English-speaking audiences through accurate and engaging content. I have also served as a project manager, overseeing localisation projects.
Winning over the English-speaking world isn’t easy, but with carefully crafted words written with the target audience in mind, it certainly is possible. I offer creative translations of marketing materials and tourism texts and I also translate scientific articles or edit them if they are written in English by non-native speakers.
This is how I manage terminology consistency in my area of expertise
Want to know a translation best practice that’s often overlooked?
Creating style guides and managing glossaries and translation memories.
You can significantly improve the quality and consistency of your documents by creating these resources.
A glossary provides the preferred translations for key terms, and a style guide covers linguistic and stylistic preferences like the tone of voice, target audience, punctuation, etc.
Clients and translators can work together to create these resources.
Another key point to consider is how you manage your translation memories.
A translation memory (TM) stores sentences, paragraphs or segments of text that have been translated before.
If managed correctly, they can improve the speed, consistency and efficiency of every project.
