Description

Some testimonials from my clients:

"It is without hesitation that we called upon her for the translations of the exhibition catalogue DINARD, ATOMIC LOVE, which she carried out very quickly and with great precision despite a very tight execution schedule. Emma is a true professional, serious and attentive" - City of Dinard, Department of Culture and Communication

"We had the opportunity to work with Emma in another context for the Ben Retrospective in 2009/2010... It is without hesitation that we called upon her for a specialized art translation, which she carried out very quickly and with great precision" - Muriel JABY, Communication Director, Museum of Contemporary Art, MAC LYON

"Emma is one of the most competent translators we have known at the Lorient Interceltic Festival. Working with her is a professional guarantee and a pleasure" - Lisardo LOMBARDIA, Director, LORIENT INTERCELTIC FESTIVAL

"Emma is perfectly bilingual and knows the world of culture and its specific terms" - Sarah HEYMANN, Partner HEYMANN RENOULT

"Having commissioned Emma to translate a French essay on 'Le Chant du Monde' into English, I am no less impressed by her encyclopedic knowledge of both languages than by her ability to use their specific genius to convey the idea clothed in words. I have too much experience in this field not to know how rare and valuable such a quality is" - Gérard Denizeau, writer, professor at Paris IV-Sorbonne

"Emma Lingwood translated the exhibition catalogue 'Regard d'artiste, Roland Cognet' from French to English for Bernard Chauveau editions. She judiciously translated the texts, most of which were written by an art historian whose writing is very specialized. Furthermore, she is an available and pleasant collaborator" - Anne Dupont, Chemins du patrimoine en Finistère

Having already worked in the cultural field (Glucksman Gallery, CruX Dance Company, Boomerang) in my hometown (Cork, Ireland), I began working in cultural communication in Paris in 2008 (Heymann Renoult Associées). In 2010, I created a freelance translation business.
