French - English Translation Services

I offer a translation service from English to French, my native tongue, and from French to English. I also offer editing and proofreading services.

Your documents can be formatted to suit your needs.

A fast turn-over is guaranteed so you can meet your deadlines.

Your documents can be sent to me by e-mail or by post.

No job is too small and I can offer partial translations when all you need is reassurance about the meaning of a document.

I pride myself if taking special care in all details: I will check for missing accents, improper hyphenation, typing errors and font substitutions.

Special Service For Homeowners In France

As well as translation of a full document, I also offer partial translations (if you don't understand one part of your paperwork) and summaries (if you are looking to understand the overall meaning of something without the need for a full translation).

 This is especially useful for French letters you may receive about your property: why pay for a full translation service if all you need is reassurance as to the general content of the document?

Composing letters In French

I can also compose letters in French upon provision of an English version.

Phone Calls To France

I can make phone calls to France on your behalf: a quick phone call often works better than several letters!

Editing & Proofreading Of French Documents

With editing and proofreading services, I verify that your document flows as smoothly in French as it would in English. I correct the spelling, grammar and syntax without altering the content of your document.

Testimonials - French Translation Services

Business Translation & Summary Service

Anne Scott-Watson provided a daily translation and summary service to the EU-Russia Centre for a year (www.eu-russiacentre.org). Her clear thinking and ability to look beyond literal translations, alongside her knowledge and interest in the subject were very valuable. She is an asset to any international team”.

“French for you translated two medical studies on brain diffusion weighted MR imaging for a medical conference. Anne Scott-Watson worked very quickly and her translation was of very high quality”.

Dr E. Schmitt, Service de Neuroradiologie,
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nancy, France

House Purchase In France

“Anne Scott-Watson was invaluable in her assistance last year with a very tough house purchase in France, whereby she provided an excellent service and was only too willing to help with queries at any time of the day or week. She called our French notaire and the local town hall on our behalf several times, and helped us complete some lengthy and complicated paper work in French – again invaluable - I would recommend Anne anytime!”
