I’m Laëtitia Leneveu, a freelance translator and interpreter

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

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,
