For now, you can check out my LinkedIn page to learn more about me and see some examples of things I've worked on.

Chers clients et collègues francophones:

Ce site web est en cours de refonte. N'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un e-mail à richard@blockletters.de ou à consulter ma page LinkedIn. J'espère avoir bientôt l'occasion de vous aider.

Liebe deutschsprachige Kunden und Kollegen:

Diese Website wird derzeit überarbeitet. Bitte schreiben Sie mir eine E-Mail an richard@blockletters.de oder besuchen Sie meine LinkedIn-Seite (auf Englisch). Ich hoffe, Ihnen bald weiterhelfen zu können.

Now then: What am I up to?

It's June 2026, and I'm still editing, writing, and doing French- and German-to-English translation for new clients in:

• the fine and performing arts (including the technical side),
• academia,
• and PR/marketing,
• as well as for general purposes.

(And for existing clients in a range of fields!)

I work in both American and British English. I'm from the United States, and US English is my native tongue; I earned my master's degree in London, so I have professional-level training and over a decade of experience using UK English, as well.

My most recent projects have been books on art history, travel, and cinema. I'm always interested in similar projects.

I'm a full member of:

• the American Translators Association (USA)
  (Certified Translator, FR ⇒ EN)
• the Institute for Translation and Interpreting (UK)
  (MITI [fully accredited Member], FR ⇒ EN)
• the Chartered Institute of Linguists (UK)
  (Chartered Linguist, FR ⇒ EN)

Write to me!

I'd love to talk shop. Drop me a line:

Please let me know how I can help you.
