French to English Language Services
Translation, editing and interpreting
I’ve been working as a French-to-English translator, editor and interpreter since 2008, specialising in wines & spirits, cosmetics and personal development. I’m British, but have been living in France since 2002.

TRANSLATION
from French to English
At Word Harmony, translation goes far beyond simply converting words from one language to another. I approach each project with careful attention to context, target audience, and the essence of the text.
Specialising in wine, beauty, and personal development, I deliver translations that combine technical accuracy with elegant style, ensuring that each product sheet, marketing message or article resonates perfectly in English.
I also offer transcreation, particularly for advertising and marketing texts: beyond translation, I recreate your message so that it preserves its emotional and cultural impact for English-speaking audiences, while remaining true to your French brand identity.
Over the years, I have also translated eight books on vastly different subjects, ranging from culture to management. Why not take a closer look at my specialist fields?
EDITING
and adaptation
I offer a full editing service for all types of document.
Whether you have written your text yourself or generated it using AI, I correct errors, refine your style, and optimise your language to ensure a fluent, natural, professional result.
I turn mechanical or rough translations into polished content, perfectly suited to English-speaking audiences, while staying faithful to your brand voice.
Automated tools can translate words, but humans bring meaning.
INTERPRETING
Smooth communication
I provide French–English interpreting services for businesses and professionals who value precise, confident communication.
Whether for meetings, conferences, site visits or interviews, I ensure your message is conveyed accurately, in clear and natural English.
My approach combines precision, responsiveness and cultural awareness to ensure smooth, effective conversations in every situation.
