The French Translation

Philippe Salmon has worked in French technical translation for 30 years. He has a great understanding of technical processes in aeronautics and automotive engineering. He’s also worked on steel, gas, oil and environmental issues. Philippe’s experience includes the Spitting Image episode which won the Golden Rose of Montreux, reports of global sporting events and medical pills for horses with bad wind. All this makes for interesting dinner party conversation and success in local quiz teams! Philippe holds the Institute of Linguists Post-Graduate Diploma in Translation with Merit for French technical translation. He regularly uses his language skills to make groan-inducing puns and jokes. He has never been seen in a beret, a striped T-shirt or with a string of onions around his neck. Cheryl Salmon has 30 years’ experience in education and training at a senior level. She has an MA in Applied Sociology and has completed further studies in positive psychology. For the Company she looks after marketing and promotion, accounts, recruitment and training. As the native English speaker, she checks and improves French to English translations. Cheryl has developed courses for would-be translators and visits secondary schools for careers events. Both Directors travel several times a year to the French Office in the Languedoc to refresh our language skills. We keep in touch with customers when we are there by phone/Skype, email and text. We also have subcontractors (with appropriate non-disclosure arrangements) for various specialist functions in the company.
