Recent translation projects - Mark Lewis Translation

Some of my recent translation projects from French to English around 550k words in 2019 in a wide variety of industrial and technical domains

I’ve collected many specific and general terms over the years and recently combined them into one database. These are the number of terms against the number of words translated or proofread by domain.

Words translated or proofed 2018 – 2019
