Gemma

Growing up between London and the south of France, I’ve had a passion for languages for as long as I can remember. After studying International Trade, following a trilingual curriculum, I decided to start a career in English to French translations, and vice-versa. 

I have now been working in translation, copywriting and content localisation for the last five years. I love the challenge of adapting, localising and transcreating texts according to a target language and audience.

Today, I split my time between working for various clients around the world and teaching international digital marketing and SEO content strategy.

Jane

Hi, I’m Jane Hentgès. I’m of Welsh origin and very proud of it! After doing a BA in French at Cardiff University, I got a major state scholarship to do a PhD in French Literature and arrived in France at 23 to do research for it. I’m still here, many, many years later! I married a Frenchman and teaching French literature in France was not really on, so I started all over again and did a BA, MA and PhD in English. I also passed the French teaching exams, the CAPES and the Agrégation, and so I worked for the French “Education Nationale” finishing up at Pau University where I was a Senior Lecturer for the last 20 years of my teaching career.

So you must be wondering about translation? Where does that come in? I taught English Literature and translation at University and when I “retired” I was afraid of being bored so I applied to the Court of Appeal to be a certified translator “traductrice assermentée”. So there you are, now you know all about me! I’ve always loved translating and since I’ve been a certified translator I seem to be discovering lots of things about life – it’s fascinating.

The German language has always been my passion. As the daughter of a journalist and a writer, I was born with a love of the German language and a talent for languages in general.

In addition, I studied German language and literature, media and communication sciences and a foundation course in law.

Before settling in the Canary Islands, I travelled the world for several years. This allowed me to gain a deep insight into the culture and views of other countries. My strongest character trait is empathy, my weakest is my love of detail.

For 20 years I have been translating from the source languages English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Dutch and French into the target language German.

I now offer my services in translation/transcription/proof-reading in 3 languages: French (mother language), English (fluent for more than 20 years) and Spanish (fluent - I've lived and worked in Central America). I’m also an interpreter English/French.

Cecile

Hello, I am a freelance translator, of Dutch nationality but totally French. I will provide you with high-quality translations, mainly from Dutch to French and especially in the legal and marketing fields.

I was already a young grandmother with a lot of experience with languages in the export sector — in French Burgundy — when I got an MA in translation and multilingual websites at the University of Strasbourg in 2016.

As a matter of fact, I am also passionate about multilingual websites and UX/UI design in particular (like website localization, UX/UI design stands for a better user experience).

It then goes without saying that my favourite translation fields are web development, legal texts, international trade and marketing (transcreation).

Edwige

My name is Edwige and I’m French, specifically from Lyon. After graduating from an engineering school, I worked in the automobile industry for several years on cutting- edge technical projects as well as linguistic projects. 

It was during an opportunity to live in Charlotte, North Carolina that I found my new career path. I qualified to teach French as a foreign language (FLE) and worked as a teacher in several language schools where I developed new courses. 

I continued to teach upon my return to the Paris region and, whilst there, got my first taste of a new occupation: English to French translation. 

Since 2011, I have been living in Brussels where I still teach French from time to time to adult expats at home, in the workplace, or online. 

I work on a variety of translation projects. I enjoy discovering new subjects and cultures and taking up new challenges.

Helena

Born in Slovakia, grew up in Belgium and Israel, studied in the US & Canada, entered the corporate world in Slovakia - is the short version of how I earned my language skills including the endless curiosity & thirst to explore the world.

While studying Business Administration and later E-business Technologies, I started teaching English & French in my free time and kept it up until today - all the way to Brann Translations to become the Tutoring Dept. Manager.

I love being in multicultural environments, constantly learning about new ways of life and getting hands-on experience on various projects. There was no question I had to exit the corporate world, where I was a top contributor on data analysis, CRM testing, product research and take a shot at freelancing full-time.

One year later, so far so good!
