What makes the difference
An engineer who translates
I understand the content I translate — mechanisms, clinical endpoints, regulatory frameworks. That means fewer errors, fewer queries, and no hand-holding on technical terminology.
A partner, not just a vendor
80% of my clients have worked with me for over a decade. I learn your terminology, your standards, your voice — and carry that forward on every project.
AI fluency with human oversight
I work with AI-assisted tools daily — and I know exactly where they fall short. In regulated content, expert review isn't optional. It's the product.

About

Translator by choice,
engineer by training

I'm an EN→FR translator with 15+ years of experience and a Master's in Engineering Sciences from INSA Lyon — a combination that is rare in the translation industry and that makes a real difference when the content is technical, medical, or regulatory.

I work with pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, industrial firms, and translation agencies who need French content that is not just linguistically correct, but technically sound, terminologically consistent, and compliant with regulatory standards. 80% of my clients have worked with me for over a decade.

I use professional, GDPR-compliant CAT tools — Trados, XTM, Phrase, Wordbee, and GlobalLink — and integrate AI selectively within secure, professional workflows. I do not use free consumer AI tools for client content. Your documents never end up in a public training dataset.

Services

What I offer

English → French

I deliver the full range of language services from English into French, using professional GDPR-compliant tools with AI integrated selectively where it adds value.

Translation
Accurate, fluent EN→FR translation with full attention to terminology, tone, and regulatory standards.
Editing & proofreading
Review and correction of existing French translations for accuracy, consistency, and compliance with your style guides.
Localization
More than translation — adapting your content so it feels natural for French and French-Canadian audiences. Terminology, cultural nuance, and local conventions all considered.
Quality assurance
Independent QA and terminology review — of AI output, third-party translations, or your own internal content.
MTPE — AI-assisted translation with expert review
AI generates the first draft. I review, correct, and validate every segment using GDPR-compliant tools. You get the speed of machine translation with the accuracy and accountability of a specialist — essential for regulated content where errors carry real consequences.
Tools & platforms
I work in Trados, XTM, Phrase, Wordbee, and GlobalLink (TransPerfect), adapting to client platforms as needed. All are GDPR-compliant — your content is never stored or used for AI training.
Content I specialize in
01
Clinical & medical
Protocols, informed consent forms, lay summaries, patient materials, and regulated clinical content. Terminology consistent with sponsor standards and regulatory frameworks.

AI & confidentiality

Why human expertise
still matters

AI translation is fast. But in regulated, technical, and medical content, speed without oversight creates risk — both in accuracy and in data security.

AI Translation alone
✗
Accuracy risks in regulated content. AI frequently mistranslates clinical terminology, dosage language, and safety warnings in ways that pass a fluency check but fail a medical one.
✗
Confidentiality concerns. Free consumer tools (Google Translate, ChatGPT) store your content on external servers and may use it to train their models. Your clinical data, regulatory submissions, and proprietary documentation should never go through these platforms.
✗
No accountability. When an AI mistranslates a drug dosage or safety instruction, no one is responsible. There is no expert who understands the content and signs off on the output.
✗
No long-term consistency. AI has no memory of your previous projects, terminology choices, or style preferences.
With expert human oversight
✓
Subject-matter accuracy. An engineering background means I understand what I translate — from clinical endpoints to mechanical tolerances. Terminology errors don't make it past my desk.
✓
Full confidentiality. I work exclusively with GDPR-compliant professional tools. Your documents are never uploaded to public AI platforms. Sensitive content stays sensitive.
✓
Accountability. I put my name and expertise on every delivery. If something needs to be corrected, I'm here — not a chatbot.
✓
Long-term consistency. I build and maintain your terminology databases across years — so your French content always sounds like you.
A note on AI-assisted workflows: I do use AI tools — selectively and within secure, professional environments. When speed and volume matter, I offer MTPE (machine translation post-editing): AI generates a first draft, I review and validate every segment. You get the efficiency of AI with the accuracy and confidentiality of an expert. The difference is who is in control.
