My name is Mélanie Da Silva. I have been working as a translator for 4 years now, after having completed a master's degree in multilingual specialized translation. I mainly translate from English into French, but also from Japanese into French, and work in various areas such as NGO-related content, legal, technical, medical, video games, etc. I am familiar with CAT tools such as Trados, memoQ and Wordfast.
I am also specialized in audiovisual translation: I have worked on many audiovisual projects (TV shows, movies, documentaries, etc.), for many vendors, and I am familiar with online platforms and subtitling software as well, such as Subtitle Workshop, Aegisub, etc.
