We are Excelingua

WHO WE ARE

Founded in early 2006 by two qualified translators with proven experience, eXceLingua is a company that provides language services to professionals. The pursuit of quality and respect for your corporate identity are the focus of our concerns. EXceLingua is also committed to building transparent long-term relationships with our business partners. While we are fully aware of your needs in terms of deadlines and cost, we also know that the human factor is an essential part of all areas of communications. We therefore believe that a successful business relationship is based on mutual trust built up on a day-to-day basis and over time.

Why eXceLingua ?

Your organisation needs to achieve excellence through all stages of development, from the first concept to the actual marketing and after-sales service. Translation tends to be the last phase before information is publicized, a product is marketed or a project is finalized. It therefore needs to be flawless. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We offer you top-quality services in order to ensure that your international communications are not the weakest link.

TRANSLATION | PROOFREADING

English→French & German→French

Translation is the process by which a text written in a given language is faithfully rendered in a target language in such a way that it reads naturally and is adapted to the target audience. This is only possible when the task is performed by a native speaker of the target language who has mastered the subject matter concerned. Proofreading ensures that the translation is faithful to the original in terms of the message (meaning and tone), linguistic conventions, terminology, any client preferences, the document layout, etc.

eXceLingua’s added value:

– Communications that are effective in all respects.
– Quality assurance that is guaranteed, thanks to a second review by a specialist other than the translator.
– Professional translators who save you time and effort on this labour-intensive task.

LOCALISATION

English→French & German→French

Localisation goes one step further than translation, as it is a process that adapts your content to the specific context of the target market or audience: practices, cultural and geographical references, economic and regulatory context etc. This is only possible when the task is performed by a native speaker of the target language, who has mastered the subject matter in question and who lives in the country where the localised text will be published.

eXceLingua’s added value:

– On top of the benefits of a professional translation, localisation increases your credibility with your clients and partners in France, and brings you closer to your target.

REWRITING

Our team can improve the quality of all of your communications resources in French.

eXceLingua’s added value:

Our Team

Pierre Le Grand

Pierre Le Grand

Translator-Proofreader

Pierre graduated from ESTRI (School of Translation and International Relations) in Lyon in 2001 and started work as a translator in 2002, when he joined the Lyon translation agency where he met his future business partner, Jérôme. Pierre has developed a passion for cars and technology in all of its forms in both his personal and working life. A long-term volunteering opportunity in Ireland also gave him a taste for the non-profit sector. He puts this interest to good use by translating for several NGOs. When Pierre switches off his computer at the end of the working day, he likes to travel, spend time with family, read and go paragliding. He is also an amateur musician.

Jérôme Richard

Jérôme Richard

Translator-Proofreader

Jérôme has been working as a translator since 2001, having firstly obtained a post-graduate diploma in linguistic engineering, specializing in translation techniques, from the University of Lorraine in Metz. He shares Pierre’s view of translation, namely that it requires language skills, incessant curiosity, diligence, flexibility and respect for contacts and the target audience. Jérôme grew up in rural Franche-Comté and although he now lives in Lyon, he still has a passion for nature and the great outdoors. He loves hiking, meeting people and distant horizons, and heads off on trips to the mountains and family breaks whenever he can.

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
