Laura Glancey<\/a> is a French to English translator specialising in clinical trials and marketing texts<\/em><\/p>\n

Who are you? Please introduce yourself <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Laura Glancey, I translate from French to English (and very occasionally from Russian to English), with a sideline in proofreading. I live in beautiful North Devon with my husband and daughter. I\u2019ve been translating for nearly nine years now; before that, I was a family manager (aka housewife and mum). My first career out of university was as an analyst\/programmer \u2013 not the most obvious choice for a languages graduate!<\/p>\n

Do you translate, interpret, or both? What are your areas of specialism?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I only translate. I cannot conceive of having the skills of an interpreter \u2013 they leave me in awe. I\u2019m happiest in my office in the attic, in front of a screen. I\u2019m a bit of a generalist in terms of specialism, as it\u2019s mostly based on what comes my way from agencies, but the bulk of my work falls in two camps \u2013 clinical trial documentation (study budgets, ethics committee forms), and proofreading\/checking marketing texts in a variety of domains.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to get into translation or interpreting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When my eldest child started secondary school, I decided I needed to return to the work force. Looking around for options which would allow the flexibility to work around family commitments, I felt working for myself would be the best solution. I thought about what my strengths were, and returning to my first love of languages seemed the obvious answer, so I enrolled on a distance learning MA in Translation with the University of Bristol and never looked back.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favourite type of project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I rather enjoy the website copy I proofread for hotel groups \u2013 it is always full of enticing details about the hotel and the area which make me want to visit everywhere!<\/p>\n

What do you do outside of translation or interpreting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love dancing (tap is my preferred style, but I\u2019ve just passed RAD Grade 6 ballet, which I still don\u2019t quite believe I\u2019ve done!). I always enjoy walking in the fabulous countryside where I live. We\u2019ve got a motorhome, which takes us around the country visiting National Trust properties, and volunteering as stewards for Oxfam at music festivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
