Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Léo
🧑💻 I am a freelance translator, a graduate of the Master's in Specialized Translation and Interpreting from Inalco with the linguistic combination French-English-Russian-German and with agency experience. I created my own company alongside my studies. I have been able to obtain some enriching translation and proofreading assignments for my experience.
🪆 Although my first love is Russian literature and its complexity, I decided to dedicate myself to translation. My attention to detail, honed by training from professional translators, and my passion for text, stimulated by my more literary and cultural academic background, allow me great versatility, while remaining efficient and accurate.
👔 I am open to translation and localization assignments, particularly in the following fields: audiovisual, culture, tourism, fashion/lifestyle, marketing, but also legal, institutional, and medical.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• Enjoyment of content writing, creative or informative
• Insatiable curiosity
• Rigor and meticulousness in data processing and management
• Meticulous respect for typographical standards and deadlines
• Careful, elegant, versatile style adapted to the field
• Expertise in Russian and English-speaking cultures
• Trained in numerous CAT tools, Subtitle Edit, XBench, Antidote, Office suite
💼 Right now?
• I am translating articles for Vogue, AD, GQ, and Vanity Fair.
• I regularly deliver translations for agencies, mainly legal and technical.
• I am preparing projects (still top secret!)
And before that?
• I subtitled for screenings in Lyon as well as festivals (MUFF and FICA)
• I supervised the localization of international websites for Le Monde Diplomatique, translated for the French press and publishing
• I translated for archivist journals and a contemporary art exhibition
