I am a French-English translator who is starting out. Having completed short courses in translation and community interpreting I would like to develop my skills. I lived in France for 5 years where I studied commercial french, taking the Chamber of Commerce exam.
I have experience of translating (French to English) general text and clinical papers for voluntary/not-for-profit organisations. In addition I speak Spanish and am happy to help with Spanish to English translations.
