That’s the reason why we won’t fail you.We will provide you with translations mainly centering on French, Japanese and English, with experience in a dozen language pairs including Chinese and Korean but also European and South-Eastern Asian languages.We can handle your standard Word contract but also your complex InDesign layouts, while localizing your WordPress site. We can help you with all the technical aspects of the translation process.We’ve also built K.K. DOUBLET to support the development of free software used in translation. We’ve been active within the OmegaT Project since 2002 doing community management, user support, localization, and a tiny bit of development, as well as funding development for new features.If you need expertise in OmegaT related processes, get in touch with us.

Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur, France

Teaching Master 2 students in translation how to make the best use of their tools. And teaching them how to not become tools too.

As an extension of my work as volunteer user support on Twitter under the @brandelune handle, I was asked by then OmegaT Project Coordinator Didier Briel to take over the @OmegaTOfficial handle and take care of users request for help.I manage the account by monitoring the "omegat" string, the "#OmegaT" hashtag and of course calls to @OmegaTOfficial. I provide user support in French, Japanese and English, along with helping fellow users in other languages by using the Twitter MT-based "translate this tweet" feature.

I started the French localization of OmegaT in 2004, when the application was made localizable. The French version was later handled by future release manager and project coordinator Didier Briel until he left the project in 2018. I resumed my activity as French localization main contributor in 2020 while helping with the main documentation set under the lead of current documentation manager Vincent Bidaux.
