In French, English and Spanish. One point of contact, with as much care for the context as for the words.

Process
We agree on the service, price and schedule together. I keep you informed from our first conversation through to completion.
Tell me about your project and your deadlines. Together, we will establish what you need so I can offer a service that fits.
You promptly receive a quote setting out the service, price and schedule. You know what is included, what it costs and when to expect it.
For translation, your documents are delivered in the agreed format and within the agreed timeframe.
For interpreting, you have support during your appointment so that everyone can understand and take part.
For proofreading or adaptation, your text is corrected and tailored to your audience.
Commitments
You deal directly with me from your first enquiry through to completion. I know your project, take your expectations into account and personally oversee the work.
In writing and in speech, I pay close attention to terminology, nuance and register. For legal documents and discussions, I take particular care with legal concepts and their implications.
Your documents and our discussions are handled with discretion. The information you share is used only to carry out the service and provide any follow-up it requires.
We agree on a realistic schedule from the outset. Your documents arrive in the agreed format, and interpreting assignments are prepared for the scheduled date.
“Good translation starts with good listening.”
About
My name is Pierre-Axel Jallu. I’m a translator, interpreter and proofreader with extensive experience in legal and institutional work. I’m based in Laon, in the Aisne department of France’s Hauts-de-France region, and work with clients around the world. We can work in person, by phone or by video call. It’s up to you.
Every project starts with a conversation. I take the time to understand your situation, your goals and the people you want to reach. I explain the options clearly and help you choose what works for you.
Whether written or spoken, I convey your message accurately, respecting your intentions and the nuances of what you say.
Listening · Precision · ClarityQuestions
The price depends on the length of the document, the languages involved, its technical complexity and your deadline. Send me your document for a prompt quote detailing the price, service and delivery date.
The timeframe depends on the volume of work and the complexity of your project. Your quote specifies the delivery date. If your request is urgent, let me know your deadline when you first get in touch: I will quickly confirm what is possible.
I work with French, English and Spanish, in every combination and in both directions: French–English, French–Spanish and English–Spanish.
Of course. Simply explain your situation and what your document or conversation is for. I will help you identify the right service and any requirements you may need to check with the intended recipient.
I work in person or remotely, by telephone or video call, for appointments, meetings and conferences. Depending on the setting, interpreting can support a conversation between several people or be whispered to an individual participant. Together, we agree on the arrangement that suits your event.
Confidentiality is central to my work. Documents, names, contact details, financial amounts and personal or business information: everything you share is handled with discretion and used solely for your assignment. I undertake not to disclose its contents to anyone unconnected with your project.
