Testimonials

“We reached out to Julie for the translation of a comprehensive online course building financial security for people with disabilities. She came highly recommended by a colleague who had worked with her in the past. Her services stand out for the turnaround time, the excellent quality or her work, and her understanding of the non-profit sector. Thanks to Julie, we now have a valuable resource that we can offer to our francophone community. We look forward to working with her on future projects!”

Helen Ries & Becky Rossi Founders, Siblings Canada

“Julie has been our go-to translator since 2011! Since we don’t have any francophone staff in our Toronto office, we need a reliable professional to handle the large quantity of marketing and communications content for our Québec francophone audience. Her services have definitely helped increase our presence and our impact with our Québec families, donors and partners. Julie is like a friend we can always count on, and we highly recommend her translation services!”

KRISTINA HOPPAssociate Director, Communications, Starlight Children's Foundation Canada

“At Quebec Native Women (QNW), the official languages are English and French. This means that all our content must be available in both languages. Although AI is useful, it can’t replace a human being’s input and can’t detect context and nuances. Julie has been our go-to translator since 2017 and her services are professional and exceptional. She always provides clear deadlines and meets them consistently. We highly recommend her!”

Sophia Dupont Administrative Assistant, Quebec Native Women

“Many thanks for always taking time to provide us with detailed quotes in support of our various funding proposals! Your responsiveness, attention to detail and commitment to timelines are impeccable. We are so grateful for your work and for helping us make our Earth science programs available to our francophone audience!”

LAURA CLINTON Executive Director, Mining Matters

Julie has been a lifesaver for our various translations. We struggled to find someone who understood our values and delivered consistently accurate, inclusive language. With Julie on retainer, we don’t have to worry about timelines or explaining our needs repeatedly. She’s reliable, always prompt, and her translations are authentic and articulate. If you need someone who can seamlessly handle your translation needs, I highly recommend working with Julie.
