Gillian Morris

a.k.a. Gill

Native English (GB) speaker in Salisbury, United Kingdom

"FR-EN Translator and Localisation Specialist"

I’ve got years of experience project managing translations in this sector.
I have a natural understanding of Marketing and Advertising (100% in my Marketing A-Level Module, wohoo!).

I’m creative in my writing style and not afraid to move away from the original meaning if it means reaching the target audience more efficiently.

I’ve got a good understanding of different market demographics and cultures, and can tune my writing style to suit the target market.

Reasons to work with me

I’m friendly and professional. I collaborate with clients to translate their message and style into my native language (British English).
I take great care in showing attention to detail, researching, and ensuring that the end result has been localised to fit the target culture.

As a writer in my native language, this is how I would describe my style

Well researched, creative, unpretentious, approachable.

My professional methodology for a standard translation project is

Research, read through, research, draft translation, sleep on it, finish translation, have a cup of tea, read through, have another cup of tea, final proofread.

This is how I manage terminology consistency in my area of expertise

Use client’s termbase/glossary, look up key terms before I start translating, use a QA checker on my CAT tool for consistency.

When clients request literal translations, this is how I handle the situation

Give them a literal translation, after talking it through with them to make sure that’s definitely what they need.

This is how I would describe my work style

Raring to go! Happy to communicate and collaborate as much as desired, but also fine left to my own devices.

I refuse to work with clients who

discriminate.

This is what motivates me to do my best work

Helping people communicate, bridging cultural gaps, and solving interesting translation issues.

I love working with such a huge variety of people, and the freedom of freelancing!
