French-English Translation and Interpreting Services
Christopher Long has been a bilingual French-English translator and interpreter since 2001 and has wide experience of both disciplines.
Formerly a journalist and editor, he primarily translates web site material, text for publication or display, audio-visual subtitles and voice-overs, as well as books and bandes-dessinées. These highly accurate translations are checked, corrected and adapted if required to meet any local or cultural differences. The aim is to provide fully finished, ready-to-publish documents specifically tailored to the needs of their intended readers.
