Bio

acmipczcld9sxs5vmxk3.jpg

A localization specialist and French native speaker, I’m regularly seeking for interesting new opportunities to collaborate with human-scale companies and indie developers. I do my best to provide top-notch services by encouraging mutual communication and avoiding intermediaries, thus offering fair rates but no low-cost services. To ensure natural and fluent translations, I translate from
English into French – my mother tongue - exclusively.

Holder of a Master's degree (master anglais MEEF) in English. Former teacher (English and French)

I specialize in video games (content, magazines/webzines, books) and I'm actively seeking for opportunities in the Board game industry (as an avid board-game player) and books translations

More information below:

 

VIDEO GAMES

An avid gamer, I mainly translate contents pertaining to video games. I've translated numerous games, among which the Elder Scrolls Online, a well-known MMORPG. I've also worked on a famous monthly video game magazine and translated books in the LitRPG genre. If you’re looking for a localization specialist to translate your gaming content (in-game items and characters, dialogues, UI, marketing, package...), articles, books and any other fun content, look no further!

BLOGGING/WRITING SKILLS

·       Articles on my blog (video games, card games, board games): ludicophelie

 

As I also love playing and reading, I'm looking for new opportunities in BOARD GAMES, literature or COMIC BOOKS.

As a secondary service, I also work in other fields such as general marketing, general IT and pedagogy.

 

 

MARKETING & ADVERTISING

 

Product & Media advertising, websites and apps (beauty and cosmetics, health, travels and tourism, furniture, youth…) I translate marketing documents on a regular basis, and know how to adapt the text to the target customers.

During my previous position as a translator, copywriter and proofreader for well-known brands such as Groupon, Campz or Luftanzah, I have developed writing and transcreative skills in this specific field.

 

MINOR FIELDS

 

PEDAGOGY

I've been a teacher in 2021 (kids aged 5 to 11 years old) and an English teacher in 2011

Translated various educative material and content: apps, websites, learning book. Practical knowledge: regular experience as a teacher in classrooms. Children aged 11 to 18 years old. Theoretical knowledge: wrote an educative report during my Master's degree about didactic methods for children. Took 2 years training modules (I.U.F.M.) learning didactic methods for young pupils.
