We are a team of two professional freelance translators from the United Kingdom.
We are both trained linguists, hold language degrees from the University of London and have been educated to post-graduate level in the United Kingdom.

Marcia holds the (postgraduate) Diploma in Translation in French, awarded by the Chartered Institute of Linguists as well as a Master's degree in Translation from Queen's University, Belfast. In addition Marcia also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Terminology and Professional Needs awarded by the Institut Universitari de Lingüística Aplicada (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona).
Marcia previously completed a traineeship (editing, translation and terminology) at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Translation in Brussels and also spent one year working as a Terminologist in the English translation section of the United Nations Office at Geneva. Christopher was previously employed by the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union in Luxembourg as a translator, editor and reviser and subsequently worked for Tipik Communication Agency, a specialised communication agency based in Brussels.
We work together to offer high-quality, professional translations from German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French into our native language, English. Christopher is a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and as such is bound by the Professional Code of Conduct to act with integrity and in accordance with the high standards appropriate to professional translators.
