Translation must always serve the customer's interests

Think of the translator as a communication partner

Developing long-term relationships allows me to get to know my customers better, to better understand their environment and to better understand their expectations.

Your translator

As a qualified translator, I workexclusively into French , my mother tongue , where I master the cultural and linguistic subtleties.

I translate mainly for companies, taking a target-oriented approach, i.e. focusing on the readability of the target text. The meaning, the intended effect and the target audience therefore govern the choice of words.
