"I first met Claire Ellender in 1998 when we were both studying
for a Postgraduate Diploma in Interpreting and Translating at The University of
Bath. During this time we worked together on several occasions. I quickly
realised that Claire was among the most talented linguists on our course. Her
quality of FR>EN and EN>FR translations was always outstanding. Claire is
intellectually curious with a keen eye for detail and is thoroughly reliable. I
would not hesitate to recommend her to top-end translation agencies or direct
clients. I wish her all the best for any future professional endeavours she
embarks upon." Jason Willis-Lee, MITI, Freelance medical translator,
Madrid, Spain
"I worked with Claire in a translation agency several years
ago. She is an excellent translator. She has an eye for detail and delivers
high-quality translations. It was a real pleasure to collaborate and exchange
with her." Véronique Danneaux, Former in-house translator, Traductec
Traductions, Paris, France
"Thank you and well done, dear Claire, for your amazing work on my writings which I thought were untranslatable. It really is a considerable achievement!" Claude Sarraute, Nationally-reputed journalist and popular novelist, Paris, France
"Claire translates Claude Sarraute extremely proficiently as
she preserves for the British readership texts which involve highly complex,
satirical mixing of registers in French. Sarraute’s writings provide an acute
challenge for the translator. Claire’s linguistic insight and hard work have
enabled her to meet the challenge with distinction. Having worked at The
University of Lille for many years, Claire will have perfected her knowledge of
French and English to a point which few professional translatorsachieve. She has an exceptional capacity for
hard work and is extremely determined." Dr. Robert Crawshaw, PhD Supervisor and Senior Lecturer,
Lancaster University, UK
"I was absolutely delighted by the level of service offered
by Claire. I thought that I had checked every detail of my flyer but, when I
sent it to Claire, she found many grammatical errors and suggested changes
which improved the quality of my document. Claire is always a pleasure to deal
with. Her speed of service and high level of professionalism are among the
reasons why I would recommend her to anyone." Joy Whitehead, Complete Therapy, Peterborough, UK
"I cannot thank you enough for your translation, Claire. You
have done a fantastic job!" Jill Fitzpatrick, University of Liverpool, UK.
