Portrait of Isabella, translator and English language specialist

Words matter. So does how we use them.

I’m Isabella, a language professional based in France, specialising in translation, localisation, linguistic quality assurance and project management.

I work at the intersection of language, culture and communication, helping businesses ensure their content is accurate, natural and appropriate for its intended audience. From reviewing translated content to coordinating linguistic projects, I understand the importance of getting the details right while keeping the bigger picture in mind.

Alongside my language services, I’m expanding into English language teaching, with a focus on helping learners develop practical communication skills, build confidence and use English in real-world situations.

Whether I’m supporting a business with its multilingual content or helping someone feel more comfortable speaking English, my approach is the same: thoughtful, practical and tailored to the people I’m working with.

Professional language services

Translation & Localisation

Translation is about more than replacing words in one language with another. It’s about conveying meaning, tone and intent while making content feel natural to its audience.

I support businesses with language solutions that respect cultural context and maintain the integrity of their message.

Cultural and linguistic adaptation
Content review and refinement

Linguistic Quality Assurance

Accurate language is essential to a professional, consistent user experience. Linguistic quality assurance helps identify issues before content reaches its audience.

I review multilingual content to identify errors, inconsistencies and areas for improvement, helping ensure that the final product meets the required linguistic and quality standards.

Identification and documentation of language issues
Review of digital content and localisation deliverables
Quality checks against project-specific guidelines

Language Project Management

Successful language projects require clear communication, careful coordination and attention to detail.

I support the organisation and delivery of multilingual projects, helping manage workflows, coordinate stakeholders and keep deliverables aligned with project requirements.

From Sydney to Paris

An Australian in France, I live between two places, two languages and two ways of seeing. These photographs by travel photographer Thomas Bekker give a glimpse of both.

Language with purpose

Accuracy

Every detail matters, from terminology and grammar to tone and consistency.

Cultural understanding

Effective communication considers the audience, context and cultural expectations behind the words.

A tailored approach

Every project and every learner has different needs. I aim to provide solutions that reflect those differences.

Clear communication

Whether coordinating a project or teaching a lesson, I value clarity, collaboration and practical results.
