eLearning
I translate eLearning pathways with clear, direct content that is easy to digest. I localise UI and UX elements to create succinct text that is consistent, allowing the learner to progress confidently through the content.
You set the tone: I write to reflect your company’s specific needs, for example the level of formality required by your company style. I flex my approach to ensure you receive the result that you want.
Unless you require a different approach, this is how I create a quality learning experience:
- I use a conversational, direct style to engage learners.
- Functional aspects only work if they are culturally relevant: I localise training content to ensure it is engaging and relevant to your specific UK users.
- I provide a quality learning experience that considers the requirements of multi-device eLearning, and audio and video content.
Product Information
and Sales Training
Before launching my translation business, I worked in sales and marketing roles, including work with customer-facing sales teams and in product marketing. I am therefore ideally placed to recraft your training and product information materials so that they have just as much impact in English as they do in French.
I understand the importance of accurately communicating your product positioning, product USPs, sales techniques and competitor analysis to enthuse sales teams and other stakeholders.
Your translated customer-facing product information, such as product sheets and brochures, must be faithful to the original French materials and accurately convey your product USPs and brand positioning in a way that engages the customer.
Marketing Materials
To reach your English-speaking audience effectively, your marketing content requires professional translation. You can trust me to deliver a text that reads as if it was originally intended for your English-speaking audience. To make sure that your translated words still sparkle, I translate marketing materials using the following values:
- Creativity: Every turn of phrase that you have used to brighten up your French text must also shine in English. This requires a creative approach.
- Cultural sensitivity: Your text must not just be in English. It must also be culturally relevant. I will localise your text, turning references to French culture, e.g. film and food, to UK-appropriate alternatives.
- Accuracy: Conveying the original message, including every nuance, is vitally important. I translate meticulously to ensure I achieve this.
Presentations, Reports and Internal Communications
Business communications vary enormously, from client presentations to monthly performance bulletins,
annual reports to employee announcements, and everything in between.
I am accustomed to the corporate world and fully understand the need to relay every message with clarity:
- Every word counts: I write according to Plain English Campaign principles, delivering content that the reader understands instantly. No deciphering required!
- Corporate culture is paramount: your internal and external stakeholders receive the intended message in clear language that conforms to your brand values.
- Trust me: I will deliver accurate translations that engage your audience and convey the right message.
Art and Culture
Telling stories, hearing stories, translating stories. Stories inspire me and that’s why I love translating for the art, museum and heritage sectors.
Art gallery and museum materials require careful translation to ensure your words are brought to life for your English-speaking visitors. I will translate your exhibition catalogues, labels and audio guide scripts using my passion for precision and ensuring that cultural references are easily understood.
At home or abroad, the wealth of opportunity to experience culture is a gift. I hope you enjoy browsing the gallery and captions to see what has been inspiring me lately.
Sustainable Travel and Tourism
I enjoy putting my passion for travel into my work. I have had the privilege of exploring the culture of a variety of places in Europe, North America, Australasia, Asia and Africa. Yet as the world has become more accessible, we have also become increasingly aware of the negative impacts that our desire to explore can have on local communities and the planet as a whole.
I cherish the opportunity to spread the message of ecotourism by sharing French-language material with English-speaking markets. Contact me to see how I can help your company in the sustainable travel sector by creating translations that inspire a desire to experience something new.
