Client Testimonials
“His translations have at all times been highly accurate, faithful to the original and consistent in their use of terminology…”
“Highly accurate, faithful to the original”
Eddie has translated a sizeable volume of texts, primarily in the legal field (in particular letters of request for judicial assistance in legal proceedings) but also in diplomatic and political matters.
As someone who has revised his work, I can confirm personally that his translations have at all times been highly accurate, faithful to the original and consistent in their use of terminology and register. He displays a sound understanding of the source text and undertakes the research necessary to ensure a high-quality rendering of the English.
He welcomes and responds positively to feedback and participates willingly and productively in discussions on points raised by the reviser.
He meets deadlines rigorously and maintains the quality of his work under pressure. He is keen to learn and always enthusiastic about the work placed with him.

“He’s a real specialist”
I’ve worked with Eddie on a few legal projects into French now, and can wholeheartedly recommend his translation services. He has a conscientious approach to each translation, asking thoughtful clarification questions where pertinent, and his previous life as a lawyer means he’s a real specialist in his translation field. What’s more, he’s very responsive and can be relied upon to meet agreed deadlines, which makes him a dream for a PM to work with!
