Michel Gambier
litterary translator from English into French

Michel gambier Living 50 km (31 miles) to the south of Paris. French native. Website: https://translator-en-to-fr.jimdofree.com/ I’m a native French translator (en -> fr, for deontology reasons) living near Paris, committed to producing quality French translations so that the reader doesn’t switch off. My favourite books are rom-com and sci-fi novels. Passionate about English, I cross the Channel time to time to develop cultural sensitivity. I have a basic understanding of latin and ancient greek, a useful knowledge when you write in a Romance language. L’autre jour, j’ai assisté à une pièce dans un théâtre parisien. L’acteur jouant Jules César — en toge — jouait divinement. J’étais fasciné par la pièce… jusqu’au moment où il étendit le bras : il avait oublié d’enlever sa montre. Retour brutal à la réalité. En traduction, un terme inexact peut avoir le même effet. C’est ce que je m’applique à éviter en m’attachant à produire un texte avec le français le plus clair possible. De plus, pour que le lecteur soit captivé par le roman, rien de tel que des expressions françaises bien de chez nous. Celles-ci me viennent naturellement, puisque la plupart des romans que j’ai lus, je les ai d’abord lus en français.
