Translating to be understood, not merely to be accurate
Not every translation needs a court expert’s seal. For a commercial contract, a technical manual, a catalogue or a website, what matters is different: precise terminology, consistency from one document to the next, and a text that reads as though it had been written in the target language.
I translate in both directions, Chinese into French and French into Chinese, and can also work from English sources. Every project is written and proofread by me: no agency, no outsourcing, no hastily edited machine output.

Included in every project
- Terminology research specific to your sector, plus a reusable glossary if you send several documents.
- Double proofreading as standard: one pass for fidelity to the meaning, one for fluency in the target language.
- Consistency across documents: product names, units and headings stay identical from file to file.
- Cultural adaptation where it is needed — a sales argument that works in France rarely works word for word in China, and vice versa.
- Original formatting preserved (Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, website files).

Frequently asked questions
Do you translate into English as well?
My core pair is French ⇆ Chinese in both directions, and I also work from English into French or Chinese. For other combinations I will point you to trusted colleagues rather than quietly outsourcing your project.
Simplified or traditional Chinese?
Simplified Chinese (standard Mandarin, mainland norm) by default, which is what Chinese authorities and most counterparts expect. Traditional Chinese for Taiwan or Hong Kong is available for non-certified work; just specify it when ordering.
Do you use machine translation?
No. Certified translations carry my liability as a court-appointed expert and are written and proofread entirely by me. For technical and marketing work I use glossaries and translation memories, which are consistency tools, not engines that translate on my behalf.
