Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After working for 14 years in Senegal in the field of local language analysis/documentation and translation, I returned with my family to France, where I now work as a freelancer, regularly in French <=> German and English => German translation, occasionally also English => French. Perfectly bilingual German/French, I continue to travel regularly to various French-speaking African countries (e.g., Cameroon, CAR, Ivory Coast, DRC) to participate in the facilitation of linguistic analysis workshops.
