Are my documents kept confidential?
Yes, absolutely.
Confidentiality is a fundamental principle of the translation practice.
All information and documents shared during a project are treated as strictly confidential, in accordance with the code of ethics of the French Society of Translators.
If required, I can sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
How soon should I expect the final deliverable?
Deadlines depend on:
– Text volume,
– Level of specialisation required,
– Document format,
– Specific projects requirements.
On average, a translator processes 1,500 to 3,000 words per day.
If your project is urgent, solutions to help speed up the process can be considered.
The goal remains the same: to meet your deadlines while ensuring the highest possible quality.

My goal is to ensure that the final document (translation, revision, proofreading, or post-editing) fully meets your expectations.
How are rates calculated?
Translations are generally prices per source word. For more details, please refer to the Services page.
I charge:
– Per source word (for editable text formats such as .docx or packages like .sdlppx),
– Per page (for scans, screenshots, or photos),
– Or based on the number of minutes or hours agreed upon in the quote.
My rates depend on:
– The type of service required (proofreading, post-editing, etc.),
– The complexity of the text,
– The volume,
– The requested deadline,
– Any additional services.
A detailed quote is always provided before the project begins. You are welcome to ask any questions before signing the quote. Work only begins once the quote has been accepted and signed.
