Forced to look for a translator who could handle quite technical terms, friends directed me to Olivier. He was extremely responsive, and my text was quickly translated, whilst keeping true to the tone of the article.

Translation & Voice-Over.
I’ve worked covering NBCs red-carpet events including the Oscars, SAGs, Emmys, Globes, Grammys & the Met Ball (sadly from the distant and far less glamorous surroundings of a studio in West London, but it did save me renting a tuxedo).
Which also meant I was the French voice of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Moi? Mais oui…
Interpretation.
I’ve also handled interpretation with Arsenal FC for many years, working as Press Conference Interpreter for Pascal Cygan, Guy Roux and Marco Van Basten amongst others. And helped iron out a sausage-related situation with Arsene Wenger’s older brother…feel free to ask me more.
Additionally, I worked as an interpreter for the class sessions at Major League Soccer, then for la Fédération Française de Football during their UK tours , and I also provided French-language editorial support for Bing.
Translation & Transcription.
You want more? I’ve now provided transcription services for UEFA, FIFA, EPCR, Arsenal FC, Nike, ITV Sports, IMG, Sky Sports, amounting to hundreds of audio transcriptions…the list is very, very long but I’ll happily talk about them if you want details…
