TRANSLATION
& CONTENT WRITING
There are times when we need to expand our business and cross frontiers. When that happens, we need to have our documents translated into the language of the country we are dealing with. You also want to be sure that the text is being translated correctly so as to convey exactly the message it was intended to, and nothing else.​
Moreover, the quality of the written content presented on your website and in your work is of utmost importance and, let's face it, we aren't all born writers...!

TAKE NOTE
-
For very short documents, a standard rate of R450 is applied instead of a word-count. According to technicality this rate may be revised (higher or lower, depending on how time-consuming the translation is estimated to be)
-
A French text will contain approximately 20% more words than an English text.
-
50 % of the total quoted amount is payable up front. 50% is payable before delivery of the final document. An excerpt may be requested before making your final payment. The Word/Pages document will be transferred after the final payment has been received in full.
-
A translation may take several weeks or even months depending on the length and technicality of the text.
-
Delivery of the final product is in PDF and Word / Pages.
-
NB: If a text contains curse words or blasphemous language or concepts that had not been brought to my attention beforehand, I reserve the right to withdraw my services without being liable for any indemnities.

After 20 years in France, my translation skills have been tested, both from English to French and from French to English. I pride myself in the excellence of my work. Afrikaans being my mother tongue, I also do translations to and from Afrikaans. (I have recently translated a book about Mandela from English to French - Mandela, mon prissonier mon ami by Christo Brand - which is for sale at the Robben Island Boutique)
Regarding my writing skills: I have self-published a book about my life in France a few years ago and am in the process of writing a very unique children's book. Other than that, I have written the content of many websites, newsletters and even e-magazines.
