SPICA TRAD

Translation services from English and Spanish into French

Translation is similar to a house of cards: a very delicate task which may easily fall apart. Quality translations can only be produced by a professional translator.

ABOUT

LAURIANE CROZIER

LAURIANE CROZIER
Freelance translator

As French is my mother tongue, I offer translations services from English and Spanish into French.

I was awarded a post-graduate diploma in legal and technical translation (Master 2 Traduction spécialisée multilingue) from the University Stendhal of Grenoble (France) after studying languages, business and economics at the University Jean Moulin in Lyon (France), including two years abroad in Spain and in England.

I worked for two years as an in-house translator in an international leading company in the manufacture of intralogistics systems and then I founded my own translation company SPICATRAD in 2008.

I have been entrusted with translation projects by private businesses and translation companies for more than 10 years.

TRANSLATION

Throughout my education and work experience, I have developed the skills that are considered essential when working as a professional translator:

CURIOSITY

RIGOUR

COMPLIANCE WITH THE DEADLINES

AUTONOMY

SECRECY

RESPONSIVENESS

FIELDS OF EXPERTISE

I strive to carry the meaning of a text from one language to another, paying particular attention to cultural and linguistic specificities.

TECHNICAL TRANSLATION

User manuals, technical specifications, data sheets, prevention reports, safety instructions…

LEGAL TRANSLATION

Service agreements, exclusive distribution agreements, secrecy agreements, assignment agreements, calls for tenders, proxies…

FINANCIAL TRANSLATION

Annual performance assessments, incentive schemes, annual reports, financial prospectus, shareholders letters, job descriptions…

MARKETING TRANSLATION

Customer satisfaction surveys, press releases, brochures, marketing documents, PowerPoint presentations…

Should the type of document you need to translate not be listed above, feel free to contact me.
I will reply as soon as possible. If I cannot handle a project due to time constraints or lack of subject matter expertise, I will gladly recommend a trustworthy fellow translator.

PROOFREADING AND REVISION

I also offer proofreading and revision services. Here is the difference between these two concepts.

REVISION

Your document has already been translated but you are not fully satisfied. Or your documents have been updated or translated in-house…
I offer thorough review services aiming at checking that the translation and style is accurate (comparing it with the source text) and that no grammar or spelling mistake go unnoticed.

PROOFREADING

You need to have French documents checked.
I offer proofreading services aiming at reviewing grammar, spelling, syntax and typography focusing on the target text only.

REVIEWS

Anne MOURLEVAT BEUMER GROUP France Sales Manager

I started working with Lauriane Crozier in 2006 and since then, she has carried out a number of translations for our worldwide projects. Lauriane also came with us abroad whenever necessary for strategic quote submissions. Lauriane is a reliable and reserved person and is able to meet our technical requirements. She is flexible, responsive and hardworking. She is committed to meeting the deadlines. She accurately estimates the time she needs and complies with her commitments. I resort to her services on a regular basis for our translation projects. She has my complete trust.

Pascale GAROUX translator

I met Lauriane Crozier in 2008 when she was about to quit an in-house translation position to found her own company and I was starting to work as a translator. We quickly worked together on legal translation projects from English into French with the same goal and the same passion. I view her as a reference in our field as she is meticulous, available and responsive. I can say that I am still working in translation today thanks to her continued loyalty and encouragement.
