English to French: Serendipity Mystery/Mystère et Bonne Fortune (by R.F. Kristi) General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Mom had decided to spend the holidays on a tiny golden island in the Indian Ocean lying between India and Southeast Asia. I smacked my lips in glee! It was cold and gloomy back home and here we were on a beach cottage on the sunny island of Sri Lanka formerly known as Ceylon, in a seaside village named Galle. We had been on a long flight from London. Despite our long voyage, we were very pleased to be on this pretty island and away from the dreary wet weather back home.
Translation - French Maman avait décidé de passer les vacances sur une minuscule île dans l`Océan Indien située entre l`Inde et l`Asie du Sud-Est. Je fis claquer mes lèvres pour manifester ma joie ! A la maison, le temps était froid et triste et ici nous étions dans ce bungalow de plage dans l`île ensoleillée du Sri Lanka anciennement connue sous le nom de Ceylan, dans un village maritime nommé Galle. Nous avions pris un long vol depuis Londres. En dépit de notre long voyage, nous étions très contents d`être notre belle île et loin de l`affreux temps humide de chez nous.

Source text - English The monastery bells rang like an alarm, though no one was in the bell tower to pull the ropes. Lightening flashed across the courtyard as the storm appeared out of nowhere. The wind whipped mercilessly, bringing with it the harsh stench of death. A dark ominous cloud appeared on the horizon, racing toward the monastery at breakneck speed. The monks, who made this monastery home, fell in like soldiers with their weapons of wood, bone, and gold at the ready. They had trained all their lives for this war… this moment in time, as their ancestors had for over a millennium. Sacred scrolls of power and magic were unearthed from the vast library and brought forth to do their work. Dark blue and amethyst cloaks billowed violently as the monks stood ready to fight a war they each had secretly prayed would not happen in their lifetime.
Translation - French Les cloches du monastère sonnaient telle une alarme, bien que nul ne se trouve dans le clocher pour tirer sur les cordes. Un éclair traversa la cour alors que l`orage apparaissait de nulle part. Le vent fouettait sans pitié, amenant avec lui la puanteur écrasante de la mort. Un sombre nuage menançant apparut sur l`horizon, dans une course vers le monastère à une allure pouvant briser des nuques. Les moines, qui faisaient de ce monastère leur foyer, s`alignèrent tels des soldats avec leurs armes de bois, d`os, et d`or à la main. Ils s`étaient entrainés toute leur vie pour cette guerre... Cet instant dans le temps, comme avant eux leurs ancêtres l`avaient fait pendant plus d`un millénaire. Les rouleaux sacrés du pouvoir et de la magie furent excavés de la grande bibliothèque et apportés afin de remplir leur office. Des capes d`un bleu sombre et d`améthyste claquaient violemment au vent alors que les moines se dressaient prêts à mener cette guerre qu`ils avaient tant redouté qu`ils avaient tant espéré ne pas voir se produire de leur vivant dans leurs prières les plus secrêtes.

I'm not your average translator. I'm a neurodivergent xennial working from French to English, and the other way around.
I also work with my second native language, which is often labeled "creole" (but my variants are Martinican and Guadeloupean only, I have a limited understanding of Haitian which is the better known variant).
As a French individual of Caribbean cultural background I was raised in a multi-lingual environment.
My level in English exceeds my level in French, as per my latest assessment. I've been exposed to English from a very early age and I use English and French interchangeably on a daily basis, regardless of my location. Having spent my childhood moving between mainland France and my native French oversea region, I have acquired mastery over both standard French (as used by French continentals) and the Caribbean variation of it. Several decades spent reading and writing, on top of my other professional experiences, have shaped me into the person I am today. That's the explanation behind the wide range of subject I can work with.
Beside being a translator, I'm a graphic artist working on photos (either to repair old pictures or embellish portraits), book cover designs or creating visuals and 3d textures. I'm also a writer (mainly song lyrics and short stories) and a composer. I particularly love being involved in adaptation projects such as adapting song lyrics. I am specialized in various fields including but not limited to film production/audiovisual/entertainment production, multimedia, toys, administrative letters, adapting song lyrics, education... If in doubt, please contact me for more information.
