NHM translation Welcome to nhm translation for professional French-English interpreting, translation, copyediting, cultural and language advice. We need a greener economy.

I work to facilitate technology transfer and sustainable innovation by supporting environmental consultants and managers to access and communicate information in English.

Translation isn't what you see. It's everything you don't.

People often say, "Can't Al just translate it?"

Yes, it can produce words in another language. Sometimes those words are even quite good.

But how do you actually know if those words are fit for purpose?

That comes down to everything beneath the surface...

- human judgment

- embodied cultural experience

- language used in context

- unique human perspective

In a world increasingly filled with generic, same-sounding content, don't start with the tool.

Start with the thinking beneath the surface.

Work with translators who use Al to augment human expertise, not to replace it.

That's where translation becomes communication.

In cookbook translation, the familiar freelance pattern of feast and famine feels particularly on theme (pun intended 😊).

So I'm very thankful that my hard work over the years has paid off with several cookbook translation projects landing on my desk for 2026... I'm very much my happy place.

Later this month, I’ll be sharing my experience in a webinar on 25 February:
Practical Insights into Book Translation and Working with Publishers

In this session, I’ll talk honestly about what I’ve learned working directly with Australian publishers on non-fiction and cookbooks:
• how book projects differ from agency and community work
• what publishers actually expect
• style guides, contracts and payment structures
• managing long projects with staggered delivery
• dealing with complex files, layouts and workflows
• and using AI thoughtfully as a professional tool (not a shortcut)

I don’t pretend to know everything, but I’m very happy to share what has worked for me and grateful to be doing work I genuinely enjoy.

If you’re curious about book translation, looking to diversify your practice, or wanting a clearer picture of what working with publishers really involves, I’d love to see you there.
