The French Linguistics site's professional translation service provides high-quality translation for businesses and individuals. Translations are performed by the author of the French Linguistics site along with other experienced collaborators, all expert native speakers of their target language and, where necessary, practitioners and/or specialists in particular fields such as IT, medicine, property law etc.
Discounts are available for certain NGOs, for non-urgent translations in the field of IT and for general translations where you agree to an anonymised version of the translation being included in the translation examples database. If you think you may be eligible for a translation discount, please ask for further details when e-mailing with your inquiry.

Please note that this site DOES NOT PASS ON WORK TO AGENCIES. It is intended primarily for direct clients who want a personalised service, with the level of attention to their project that this brings. Translation agencies are requested not to send unsolicited e-mails just to advertise their services!
I regularly receive requests for the translation of long books and novels. Unfortunately, many people making such requests underestimate the amount of work and hence the cost involved in the translation of a long book or novel. Please only contact me about the translation of long books and novels if you can realistically budget for a translation price of £6000+ and for an absolute minimum turnaround time of 2-3 months.
Confidentiality: Unless otherwise specified, you agree that the source document that you submit, along with any part of the resulting translation, may be disclosed to other translators and/or consultants directly involved in the translation of your document, and that where necessary, small sections may be posted on public translation forums in order to request help with terminology. However, all parties working on behalf of the French Linguistics web site agree not to disclose any part of your document to third parties— including translators not directly involved in the project— without your express consent.
Legal indemnity: All translations offered via the French Linguistics translation service are performed in good faith and to an extremely high standard. However, in submitting a document for translation, you agree not to hold the translator(s) or other parties involved therein liable for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, for any unintentional mistake in the translation, or in any other way caused by use of the translation for any purpose.
