Shaped by a multidisciplinary journey through Science and Storytelling, I make sure your message remains clear, authentic and unmistakably human. I have the keyboard, the curiosity, and the coffee. All that is missing is your project!
Hiya, I am Ben, native french speaker, Science nerd, ocean lover and passionate translator/voice actor!
Before The Tideborn Guild, I trained as a coastal engineer and completed a PhD studying how oceans and coastlines behave. During those years,
I wrote articles, reports, and conference material for both specialists and the general public and I learned something essential: clarity matters, no matter who you are speaking to.
Over time, I found myself drawn to language as much as to science. I enjoyed explaining complex ideas, making them understandable without losing their substance. That is what eventually led me to become a full-time EN to FR translator specializing in two areas I care deeply about:
The Science & Environment:
I translate and adapt scientific content, educational materials, and communication for researchers, museums, and environmental organizations. My goal is always the same: make the information reliable, readable, and meaningful.
The Video Game Localization:
I particularly enjoy working on games that build rich worlds, detailed systems, and strong technical foundations—strategy, sci-fi, simulation, exploration. These genres let me combine my scientific background with my love of storytelling and game design.
Whether I am working on a scientific article or a dialogue line in a space sim, I bring the same approach:
precision, coherence, and a genuine respect for the original intent.
If that is the kind of work you value, I would be happy to discuss your project.
