Artificial intelligence and digital tools
Artificial intelligence, agentic AI and digital transformation: I translate, revise and post-edit texts from English into French on subjects I work with every day.
Subjects I know
I translate, revise and post-edit texts on artificial intelligence and digital tools from English (British and American) into French (France):
- artificial intelligence in the economy and in business;
- AI, work and training;
- AI regulation and EU digital policy;
- AI assistants and agents, large language models and generative AI;
- automation, developer tools and integrations (APIs, the MCP protocol);
- data security and governance.
From institutional texts to technical content
Texts on AI address very different audiences: policymakers, researchers, businesses, users. I have worked for European institutions and international organisations, directly or through agencies: I know how to render the rigour and tone of an institutional text, and how to apply EU drafting conventions. My background in economics and management also helps me read analyses and figures.
Daily hands-on use of AI tools
Every day, I use AI assistants and agents to build my own tools: an application that runs several agent sessions in parallel, custom skills and workflows for monitoring and organisation, integrations with my management tools, and the website you are reading.
I follow agentic AI news almost every day: new models, tools, protocols and uses. I know what an agent, a context window, an MCP server or a skill is, and how users work with them. I understand your texts from the inside, and I translate them for readers who use these tools too.
Before translation, I worked as an IT manager (hardware, software, telephony, user support) and as an account manager for IBM and HP products: I know the questions users of digital tools ask.
Post-editing
If your documents have been machine translated or translated with an AI tool, I post-edit them against the English source text. I check meaning, terminology, figures and language quality, applying your glossaries and style guides. The rate depends on the quality of the initial translation: I assess a sample before preparing the quote.
Terminology
Many AI terms do not yet have an established French equivalent. For each one, I choose between the accepted English loanword, the recommended French term (FranceTerme, IATE) and professional usage, depending on the audience of your text. I use CAT tools (Trados Studio, OmegaT, or your own tools) with a glossary for each client, so that terminology stays consistent from one document to the next.
Frequently asked questions
What should I include in my quote request?
The subject and type of documents, the intended audience, the volume (word or page count) and your preferred deadline. If you have a glossary or style guide, attach it: I will apply your terminology. For post-editing, say how the translation was produced. You can attach a file to your request or give a link.
How do you translate AI terms that have no French equivalent?
Term by term, I choose between the accepted English loanword, the recommended French term (FranceTerme, IATE) and the usage of industry professionals, depending on the audience of your text. I record these choices in a glossary so that the terminology stays the same from one document to the next.
Do you offer post-editing?
Yes, for machine translations and translations produced with an AI tool. The rate depends on the quality of the initial translation and the type of text: I assess a sample before sending you a quote.
