Translation and Interpretation Services in English, French and Spanish
 
• Let me explain how I may help you with Translations in the Carcassonne area, Languedoc-Roussillon and beyond.
My name is Janet Horsley. I have a degree in Modern Languages (French/Spanish/Portuguese) from the University of Leeds and have lived and worked abroad for several years, notably I have worked at the British Embassy in Paris and at the European Commission in Brussels.

I have lived in Carcassonne since 2007 and Carcassonne, which as you will well know, has attracted many other British nationals over recent years, quite a number of whom have either purchased holiday homes, as Carcassonne Airport is very reachable from the UK, or who have actually taken the decision to move to the Carcassonne area.

What both groups have discovered is that owning a property and / or living here can provide many challenges and major obstacles, particularly when dealing with the French Civil Service, French Systems and Institutions. This is not easy even if your French is at a reasonable level.

 
• That's where my experience and knowledge can help!
By providing translation and simultaneous interpretation services in English and French in a wide variety of situations. I can translate documents, write letters and emails, make phone calls and provide on-site interpretation for a wide range of meetings.  I actually offer translation and interpretation between English, French and Spanish.
