Communications with Christopher were smooth; turnaround time was four days, which is fast. This is our longest segment, and the toughest. This is the fastest time that ANYONE has translated this segment into ANY language! We are very happy with Christopher Hall's work, and would be glad to do business with him again (Translations for Progress Feedback Forum). After 4 years of doing a French degree in which both French-English and English-French translation featured heavily, I have recently completed an MA in Applied Translation Studies at the University of Leeds. Throughout this one-year intensive course, I became trained in the use of leading CAT tools such as SDL Trados, Passolo, Déjà Vu, OmegaT and Wordfast. I am now a confident user in these tools. I have carried out voluntary translations for organisations such as Cafébabel, PEOI, Global Peacebuilders and Translations for Progress. > Education: *** MA Applied Translation Studies (2006-07) - University of Leeds - French-English translation *** BA French Studies (2001-05) - University of Leeds > Additional Skills: Typewriting speed of 60 wpm.
