Striking the right tone, finding the right word
As a translator and copywriter,
it’s my job to assist with your
communications and publications
every step of the way!
Services
Protect your company’s reputation and keep your customers happy
by working with a reliable partner!
I offer the following services:
Human translation
Even (or especially!) in the information age, human translation remains essential to produce a text that rises to the challenges of your market, audience or readership and showcases your products, services and publications.
Contact me for turnkey translations and impeccable professional quality from English (UK and US), German (Germany and Switzerland) and Chinese (simplified and traditional) into French (France and Switzerland).
Copywriting
If you’re seeking bespoke content, copywriting – similar to transcreation – is the service for you.
You decide on the key points, tone of voice and length of your blog posts, slogans, press releases, newsletters and brochures, and I’ll do the rest.
As a language expert, I draw on all my skills and resources to produce relevant and compelling copy.
Correction
I can also harmonise, correct and improve your French texts to raise your content to a professional standard.
The process involves checking the spelling, grammar and typography, improving style, adapting the text to the market and readership in French-speaking Switzerland or France, reading over your final proofs and harmonising the body of the text. I also adapt comic books and correct/read over your final proofs. Drop me a line to talk through your requirements!

Copywriting
Similar to transcreation, copywriting is the process of drafting a text to your specifications, including register, length, visuals and audience. I work on a range of document types, from blog posts and slogans to press releases, emails and brochures.
I take inspiration from your requirements and documentation and draw on glossaries, articles and specialist sites. If need be, I contact industry experts to produce a relevant and striking text.
