Work with Lisa Molle Troyer!

Are we the right fit?

If you’re looking for the most direct, literal translation of a text: I am not your person.

If, on the other hand, you need to adapt a cookbook to use familiar ingredients and techniques, translate a homesteading guide or gardening manual, or just help people focus on what you’re saying rather than what language it was said in: Let’s talk.

Here’s what I do

I translate French food, fragrance, floristry, and sustainable living for the American market. I have an MA in Translation and Interpreting and am ATA Certified; I studied perfumery in Paris and flavors with ISIPCA, and I’m also a farmer-florist who keeps up with the latest permaculture-based methods.

My past projects include:

• Press kits for new perfume releases
• Cookbooks by well-known chefs and major brands
• Training courses for international cosmetics companies
• In-house magazines for a premium tea brand

What it’s like working with me

• I’m on your team: I make suggestions and flag inconsistencies so you can be confident you’re sending exactly the right message
• I won’t leave you hanging: I’m flexible and responsive
• I genuinely love my work, and it shows in the quality of my translations

My rate is all-inclusive

I translate each text, have a bilingual editor review it, then conduct a full final proof.

I’m an interpreter, too!

Helping people communicate directly across a language barrier is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

I’m a conference interpreter and can facilitate your meeting or event in person or via remote interpreting technologies.
