Back to original languageAbout Sylvain
Freelance German -> French translator since 2002, I mainly work in the fields of industrial mechanics and IT - but not exclusively! Tourism, agriculture, and transport are also among the sectors that trust me.
Whether in translation or copywriting, I always adapt to the type of medium as well as to your audience or clients: user manuals, press articles, websites, practical guides, technical specifications, magazines, service instructions, brochures, advertising or technical popularization texts...
My unique content offers you technical accuracy and editorial clarity in a simple and fluid style, while respecting the specific terminology of your field of activity.
Upon request, I can also deliver content optimized for natural referencing (SEO), written primarily for the reader but written to meet search engine algorithms.
My technical and linguistic knowledge, supported by solid references and a proven research methodology, is reinforced by constant communication and knowledge exchange with my partners and clients, with a commitment to availability, listening, and flexibility.
A lasting, cordial, and mutually enriching relationship, with the goal of quality content.
