Professional translation and proofreading for companies and translation agencies

Translation is not merely about replacing words from one language with another. A professional translation must convey a message clearly, accurately, and naturally, while respecting the context, the target audience, and the intent of the original author.
 
With Marie PAVY | Léman Traduction, businesses and translation agencies gain a reliable linguistic partner to produce high-quality French content.
 
My goal: your audience will never guess your content wasn’t originally written in French.

Language combinations

In professional translation, one rule is universal: translators work exclusively into their native language to ensure a natural, fluent text fully adapted to the target audience, both linguistically and culturally.

I therefore translate into French (my native language) from:

English
Italian

In addition, my expertise in French allows me to proofread, revise, and improve your existing French content, whether to ensure linguistic quality or adapt it to new requirements.
