I can help you to communicate with new or existing clients, taking context and your target audience into account. My translations faithfully render the source text into English, whilst retaining all the impact and nuances of the original.

TRANSLATION

from French and Russian into English

PROOFREADING

Final checking of hard copy or on‑screen proofs for errors in typography, content and layout

COPY-EDITING

Rates

Most translations are invoiced on a per-word basis. Proofreading and editing will be charged at an hourly rate.

Every project is different. Although my rates are in line with the industry standard, the final cost will take into account other considerations, such as the purpose of the document, formatting requirements, how technical it is and how quickly you need it. Please contact me with as much information as you can and I will prepare you a free, no-obligation quote.
