More than just words

Need a professional French to English translation? Looking for quality and style? You’ve come to the right place!

Translation is more than just substituting one language for another. It’s the art of crafting a text that communicates clearly, informs and engages readers, opens up new markets and bridges the gap between cultures. AI won’t get you far with that. In fact, it could do more harm than good. For the best results and complete peace of mind, you need a professional French to English translator who’s going to deliver quality writing, on time and on budget. The good news is: you’ve just found one. Welcome to Amtrad Translations!

6 compelling reasons to choose a human over AI

There are some clear advantages of choosing a professional French-to-English translator to communicate your message:

In-depth cultural awareness:

My cross-cultural background gives me a keen understanding of the cultural and linguistic nuances of French and English. This ensures your content resonates with your target audience while also preserving the essence of your message.

Direct contact:

Say goodbye to middlemen! When working with me, you’re communicating directly with the person translating your content. No agency project managers assigning your work to the first person who comes along, just a direct line to an expert.

Advanced technology:

I’ve mastered the latest translation innovations, so that I can expedite the translation process without compromising on consistency, accuracy or quality.

Stress-free deadlines:

Your time is precious. I understand that and am committed to meeting your deadlines with a high-quality service that not only saves you time but also offers you complete peace of mind.

Personal touch:

I get it – your requirements, constraints, problems and challenges. Whether you need a partner for a long-term venture or some last-minute content turned around in a flash, I’ve got you covered.

Reputational peace of mind:

AI translation can’t match the finesse of a qualified professional in the world of business, where style, tone, cultural context and confidentiality all matter. It takes a human touch from a professional translator like me to safeguard your reputation.

FAQs

Translation is a little-understood profession. Translators (who write) are often confused with interpreters (who speak) and we can have a reputation for living locked away in solitude translating only books. (Admittedly, there’s an element of truth to all that…). So here are the answers to some of the most common questions I get asked.

I need a professional French to English translator. Where do I begin?

To start with, send me the full text so that I can give you a quote, which will include the price and the timeline (unless you have a pressing deadline of your own). You can then decide whether you want to go ahead and if so, sign and send the quote back to me. Then it’s over to me!

How much will it cost?

Several factors determine how much a translation will cost:

the number of words
the difficulty (a 4-word slogan can take 2 hours)
the deadline
the format (unusual file extensions, PDFs, photos of documents)

If you need a long highly technical document translating overnight, SEO translation services or to translate official documents, it’s going to cost more than a one-page press release with a two-week deadline. But rest assured: summing all that up is my job. My quote will give you a clear and single total, and we’ll stick to that with no changes down the line.

How long will it take?

If you have a pressing deadline, then let me know right at the beginning so that I can factor it into my quote. I can be flexible, but like most professional translators, I am usually booked several days ahead. However, once I get started on your text, I translate an average of 2,000 words per day. If you need SEO translation services, the timescales will depend largely on your objectives. You can be sure of one thing though: if I give you a deadline in my quote, then we’ll stick to that. I’m not in the habit of missing them and I don’t intend to start now!

What happens if I’m not happy with the result?

I’ll do everything I can to make sure you are. Once I deliver the translation, I am of course always open to comments and happy to answer queries. If you have any remarks about the text or alternative terms you prefer, I’m all ears. This dialogue is an essential and completely normal part of the translation process.

Are you a specialist in my field?

As language professionals, we work hard to keep up with our specialist fields, in my case the medical sector. I am also a qualified French SEO translator and approved to translate official documents. There may be times when I send you a query about your text, and I always appreciate my clients’ support and prompt answers, but otherwise you can count on me to get on with the research and produce a flawless text.

I have a major project coming up. Can you handle large volumes?

For large-scale projects I work with a small team of hand-picked colleagues, all similarly experienced and specialised. For the purposes of quality control, I read every word they write. I am your point of contact and take responsibility for every word produced by Amtrad Translations. The buck stops with me.

Do you work with other languages too?

I work only in the field of professional French-to-English translation. But I can sometimes recommend colleagues or manage multi-language requests. It’s always worth asking!

Why should I come to you instead of choosing another translator?

With me, you’re not just getting top-notch quality, years of experience and a certified professional (I’m a Qualified Member of the British Institute of Translation and Interpreting, a member of the French Sociéte Française des Traducteurs and a qualified French SEO translator); you’re also getting friendly, personal service at competitive prices. What more could you want?

Why should I pay a translator instead of using Google Translate?

When you opt for a human translation, you safeguard your reputation. No automated tool can step into the shoes of a translation professional in the world of business, where style, tone, cultural context and confidentiality all matter. Whether you’re aiming to attract new customers, get your articles published or inspire confidence in your brand, perfection isn’t optional – it’s a must.
