About me

I am a French native translator and web editor of 34 years-old with 10 years of experience.

From an early age, I have always had a strong interest in other cultures and countries. This passion led me to study languages at the university and also business administration in order to give myself a double competency.

Graduated from the University Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3 (France) and the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona (Spain), I started my professional career as a translator in both English and Spanish.

I first worked as an in-house translator in translation agencies in Barcelona, then I subsequently evolved into responsible positions of project manager, content manager and account manager.

I have excellent language skills in French, Spanish and English, and also a good knowledge of the Internet, web editing techniques and content optimization for search engines.

I am very familiar with English and Spanish speaking cultures, which makes me particularly sensitive to cultural approach.

My aim: Deliver editorial content and translations of the highest quality.

Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture
Anthony Burgess

Quel est le tarif d’une traduction en France ?

21/06/2012 Emilie Couprie

Tout projet de traduction de l’anglais au français confronte le traducteur à des difficultés générales et parfois spécifiques en fonction de la technicité du texte. Un traducteur francophone doit franchir l’obstacle de la terminologie et de la syntaxe au moment de traduire un texte de l’anglais vers le français.

Faire appel à un spécialiste de la traduction

19/06/2012 Emilie Couprie

Si, par souci d’économie, le recours à la traduction automatique remplace le spécialiste de la traduction, les textes traduits s’avèrent la plupart du temps inexploitables en tant que tels. Le meilleur traducteur automatique peut saisir et rendre le sens global d’un texte sans toutefois en identifier et retransmettre les subtilités.
