Welcome! My name is William Cheyne, and I am a native English speaker and professionally trained linguist based in Monmouthshire, UK.
I provide the following three language services:
-
Translation of French/Italian documents into English
-
Proofreading of translated or standalone documents in English
-
Copyediting of translated or standalone documents in English
S
SERVICES
I am highly communicative, providing my clients with regular updates on their projects and control over choices such as terminology, tone, style and formatting.
When translating, I use computer assisted tools (CAT) so that terminology is consistent across documents.
Combining attention to detail with stylistic flexibility, I endeavour to produce precise, nuanced and clear content.
SPECIALIST FIELDS
-
Commercial material (articles of incorporation, calls for tenders, business plans, product descriptions, website translation, etc.)
-
Financial texts (balance sheets, income statements, statements of cash flow, tax treaties, etc.)
-
Legal documentation (contracts, wills, trusts, service agreements, purchase orders, trademark licensing agreements, lease agreements, property agreements, court proceedings, etc.)
-
Official documents (certificates, degree transcripts, marriage/death certificates, etc.)
-
Touristic and promotional literature (brochures, pamphlets, descriptions of attractions, press releases, social media campaigns, etc.)
-
Energy/environment (supply contracts, renewables, waste disposal, land use documents, planning applications and related official documents and formal correspondence)
-
Insurance related documents
I am also happy to occasionally cover other topic areas, for example academic papers, press releases and university theses.
However, if I consider a text to fall outside my subject knowledge, I will endeavour to recommend a more suitable translator instead. This includes other translators who work in other language combinations: for example, I work with a professional, mother-tongue translator from English to Italian, whose website is https://rddtranslations.com.

ABOUT
I’ve been translating for ten years, forging relationships with both agency and direct clients in the UK, France, Belgium, Italy and beyond.
In December 2012, I graduated from Bath University with the MA in Translation and Professional Language Skills, having graduated from Durham University the previous year with a BA (Hons) in Modern Languages. My Masters thesis, which centred on the translation of three contemporary Breton short stories, was awarded a distinction and subsequently published in e-book format.
As a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders and Emerging Translators Network, all my work adheres to the strictest professional standards, meaning you can always rest assured of the quality of my services.
MY CLIENTS
