Clients Testimonials

Translation

Pierre Demers, président de la Ligue internationale des scientifiques pour l’usage de la langue française

Having gone through some of the books in your collection, everywhere I agreed with the content with respect to terminology, as well as rigour of expression and stylistic elegance. In considering the nature of the work you have accomplished and the amount you have produced, one realizes this body of work represents an impressive reflection process based on an understanding of both the subject matter and the languages involved. At all times, you carefully thought or rethought through what finally appeared on paper – content for the most part dealing with highly specialized and difficult-to-grasp topics.

Translation

Yves Tremblay, Editorial Director, McGraw-Hill Publishers then Managing Director, Ediscience International

As editorial director of McGraw-Hill Publishers in Montreal and in Paris, I hereby attest that you translated many scientific and technical books for the firm. The quality and the speed of your work were uniformly excellent. Your collaboration was always highly appreciated.

Translation

From R. Rateau’s report in the French technical magazine Le haut-parleur of the book entitled Circuits intégrés linéaires by the late Jean Letocha, engineer and former professor of pre-university and technical school in the Province of Quebec

We must give this excellent book special mention for the rigour and clarity of its presentation, both of which are on a level rarely reached. And the quality of the language used – the author even called upon a linguistic advisor (L. Collet) – might serve as an incentive to travel to the Province of Québec to perfect one’s French.
