Source text - French Néanmoins, le terroir ne la laisse pas aussi indifférente qu’elle veut bien le dire. Pour preuve : cette écologiste convaincue prône une viticulture raisonnée. L’accent est mis sur la prévention, le travail du sol et l’observation, afin de produire des raisins sains et mûrs tout en préservant l’environnement. Les insecticides et autres traitements anti-maladies sont utilisés à doses homéopathiques.
Translation - English However, she is not as indifferent to the soil as she would have us believe. As a confirmed ecologist, she advocates environmentally responsible wine-growing techniques. Emphasis is put on ecological protection, working the soil and observation in order to produce ripe and healthy grapes whilst respecting the environment. Insecticides and treatments against disease are used in homeopathic doses.

Experience
Years of experience: 17. Registered at ProZ.com: Mar 2008. Became a member: Nov 2008.
As a native English speaker living in France since 1981, I worked primarily for French subsidiaries of British and American groups until becoming a freelance translator in March 2007. As administrative manager and financial controller within these companies, I gained a thorough knowledge of the French business environment.
Throughout my career I also undertook translations concerning commercial, financial, legal and personnel matters, as well as proofreading French and English texts.
Since March 2007 I have specialised in tourism, the luxury sector and wines and spirits. Translations have included magazine articles, newsletters, websites, press releases and general business material (contracts, service proposals, corporate brochures, company presentations, etc.).
As an illustration of language awareness, I obtained a certificate in commercial translation from the Alliance Française in 1984 and successfully completed a CELTA (University of Cambridge certificate in English language teaching to adults) teaching course in 2003.
