Translation

Translation is written work that transfers a source text to a target text, remaining faithful to its style, its content and its cultural connotations.

“Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture” said Anthony Burgess.

Interpretation

Interpreters work with verbal communication and create links between several individuals who are speaking different languages. When transferring a message from one language to another, they consider not only the exact meaning, but also the tone and the cultural connotations.

  • I met Ms Louisin a few years ago at a professional trade show for renewable energies where she was working as an interpreter. I became quickly aware of her eloquence and her excellent language skills. Since then I have entrusted her with translations for clients in this sector and she has always proved to be extremely professional and has a good eye for detail. I will be delighted to continue working with her!

  • I have been working with Birthe Louisin for several years during French-German youth exchanges. These programmes are based on linguistic and cultural exchanges between professionals from the same profession as well as on discovering heritage. Working together is a real pleasure, as a tourism professional I really appreciate her perceptions of our culture and her way of communicating this to groups of young people. I hope that we’ll continue to work together for many years to come.
