Bio
I’m Laëtitia Leneveu, a freelance translator and interpreter
working primarly with Japanese, English and French.
Passionate about languages, I am also fluent in German and am currently learning Vietnamese and Russian. I am
constantly taking on new challenges and discovering new
cultures through my hobbies.
I have been working for the past 5 years as a city worker
in Japan, translating and interpreting between English and Japanese as well as French and Japanese, specifically in the administrative and tourism areas.
Detail oriented, I strive to provide user oriented
translations, easy to understand and culturally relevant.
I work with CAT tools (OmegaT) and also have some
experience with subtitling and timecoding videos. (Aegisub,
