Mrs Philippa Hammond MITI






Sector-fluent French, Spanish, Portuguese to English translations
20+ years translating for the international development sector

You need English that works for donors, implementing partners and stakeholders wherever they are. I deliver translations that enable INGOs, charities, small businesses, policymakers and public sector organisations to boost their reach with clear, compelling English.

Language pairs:


* French to English
* Spanish to English
* Portuguese to English

I take the risk and stress out of producing mission-critical communications in English, producing translations that hit the right note with your target market. English versions that flow so well that you'll forget you're reading a translation.

Since 2004 I have been providing reliable and risk-free translation services to translation agencies and direct clients, including several years as an in-house translator. I'm responsive, organised, and incredibly efficient.

The majority of my work comes from long-term clients and referrals. I handle impact reports, grant applications, monitoring and evaluation documents, research papers, annual reports, and policy briefs.

Specialist sectors:

* International development and humanitarian aid
* Human rights and social justice
* Global health and education policy
* Sustainable food systems and agriculture
* Climate, environment, and poverty alleviation
* Public policy and governance.

I'm also a Plain English specialist and work to UK and international accessibility standards.

What you get:
* Carefully researched, sector-appropriate terminology
* English that reads naturally, never 'like a translation'
* On-time delivery, even to tight deadlines
* Meticulous quality assurance
* A collaborative approach that respects your expertise

MITI since 2008.

Based in the UK, working with organisations globally.

CAT tools proficiency (memoQ preferred).

Certified translations available with the ITI seal.
