About

I’m Louise. I work with companies specialising in marketing or tourism and are looking to do business with the UK. I translate corporate communications from French and Spanish into English and use my copywriting skills to convey their company’s message in stylistically and culturally appropriate language so that they can reach a global audience.

My recent translation projects include five press releases for a Spanish marketing agency; four brochures including one for a cosmetic brand; web copy for four hotels and three annual reports, including the financial records of a bank.
