Resume:
Sophie Fleurdépine, PhD
English to French translator
Email: sophie.fleurdepine AT gmail.com
I am a lifelong learner, and I am currently setting up as a freelance translator ( English to French).
Translation allows me to discover new subjects, practise my language and writing skills and put to good use my attention to detail; I just love it.
Translation experience
• Translation of more than two hours of video lecture subtitles for Coursera.org on the Transifex platform.
• Translation of natural sciences articles (12,300 words) for Big-Animals.com.
• Translation of articles for the Open History Project website (20,000 words).
• Translation of various documents for Banana Link (5,000 words)
