The French language expert with a business brain.
I am Charline Brainez. I have spent my life between two disciplines that rarely meet: literature and international business. My clients get both.
Work with meAnswer within 24 hours. Strict confidentiality, NDA on request.
Literature first. Business fluent.
My training started in a French literary preparatory class: French, English and Spanish, the classics, the discipline of the sentence. Then I chose a path few linguists take: an international business school in Toulouse, with a master’s degree in management and international business earned with honours. In December 2023, I completed the certified Translator title with Edvenn, a level 7 professional qualification (master’s degree level).
That double culture is my signature. I can polish a children’s book in the morning and an annual report in the afternoon, and give each the precision it deserves: rhythm and wonder for one, terminology and confidentiality for the other.
I have lived and worked in South Africa, Australia, Mexico and Canada. Today I live in France, inside the language my clients buy: its news, its culture, its expressions as they evolve. That is something neither an expatriate competitor nor an AI can offer you.
