Selection of projects

Planet Nemo  

I started a creative collaboration with Planet Nemo in 2007, working on one of their up and coming projects, Aloutah & MikMak, a series of short animations about two adorable little rascals who live in the Arctic. This project requires creativity and flexibility, as this is much more a literary adaptation than a rough and ready translation!

Language Link  

I have been working with Hilke Searle for a while now, and really enjoy our collaboration. Most of the work is technical, to do with the automotive and oil industry, but more recently, I have been asked for lighter subjects:

• Paris Match article for Hello Magazine (Sean Connery)
• Power Point presentations (Engine Oils)
• Various press releases (Engine Oils)
• Marketing material (Vehicle refinishing products)
• Company's corporate publication (Engine Oils)

Gemini Language Exchange

I have been working with Gemini over the past few years on a range of projects - generally quite technical in nature: financial, pharmaceutical, coatings, to name but a few. Here are some examples of translations I have done:

• Marketing brochures for anti-microbial products
• Website for Safari park in South-Africa

SATIS

A brief but intense collaboration on a very interesting project regarding climate change. The subject was difficult and it was sometimes not easy to handle, but I still found this very rewarding:

• 4 powerpoint presentations on Climate Change
• 1 speech on Climate Change

ILS (Heriot-Watt)

I collaborated with ILS over a range of projects, which made it very challenging, especially as deadlines were often very tight:

• Ethics code (Brewery)
• Emails (Brewery)
• EWC meeting notes (Brewery)
• Satisfaction Survey Questionnaire
• Introduction to a book (Scottish First Minister)
• Registration Codes (UK)
• Financial report (Oil-related company)
• Company's corporate publication (Distribution & Aviation)
• Official report on Entente Cordiale centenary celebrations
• Exam and Degree documents

Centre for Communication Interface Research

We worked in French on a project (SPELL) to help create language learning software aimed at GCSE students. Lise Morel was also involved in voice-over material for their developing software. 

Trac Measurement Systems.

Translation of a highly technical set of instructions for a measuring device.
