Reliable and professional freelance translator established in 1992 in France.
Sworn translator since 1992.

Extensive experience, guaranteed high-quality jobs, carried out with great care and efficiency, delivered on time and with full respect for professional ethics, including professional secrecy.

Word rates for translation agencies:
My word rates based on my qualifications, professional experience, quality and efficiency.
Just established, in 1992, a wordrate of 0.08 to 0.10 euros (0.55-0.65 FR) was acceptable for someone without any or with little experience and with a cost of living much lower than today.
Today, almost 30 years later, considering my extensive experience, grown proficiency, but also higher professional/social expenses and cost of living in France, it is only normal to ask for a minimum word rate of 0.15 euros.
In spite of this, I keep receiving job offers offering me a word rate from 0.02 to 0.10 euro cents, I can't believe some agencies are serious when they offer so little for so much work.

!!! To translation agencies: I will not reply to any agency offering less than my minimum rate.
