Translator - Editor : English & Italian to French

EN/IT to FR Translator / Proofreader | Literary Translation & Cultural Content Specialist 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇺🇸🇫🇷 Hello and welcome! I am a professional English and Italian to French translator with over 20 years of experience, specializing in literary translation, cultural content, and audiovisual projects. Over the years, I have translated a wide range of content for international clients, helping authors, publishers, agencies, and creative teams bring their work to French-speaking audiences. I believe that translation is not simply about changing words from one language to another. It is about recreating the original experience in French while preserving the author's voice, writing style, atmosphere, and cultural nuances. Areas of expertise: • Literary translation (Crime & Mystery, Thriller, Sci-Fi, Romance, Children's Literature) • Novels and creative writing • Cultural, editorial, and heritage content • Documentary scripts and audiovisual content • Translation of existing subtitle (.SRT) files • Website and digital content localization • Transcreation and stylistic adaptation I have a particular interest in projects connected with storytelling, culture, history, arts, and human experiences. I especially enjoy working on novels and cultural content where language, emotion, and style play an essential role. My approach combines linguistic precision, cultural awareness, and a strong attention to detail. Each project is carefully adapted to ensure a natural French reading experience while remaining faithful to the original work. A successful translation should not feel like a translation — it should allow French-speaking readers to connect with the story, ideas, and emotions exactly as the original audience does. I would be delighted to collaborate with authors, publishers, production companies, and agencies looking for high-quality French translations that respect both language and storytelling. Celine
