Meet Lydia, Your Translator

I am a French to English certified translator with over 12 years of experience. I specialize in creative, professional and legal translation. I founded Chic-Choc Translations to help individuals and businesses across Quebec and Canada communicate clearly and effectively in English with content that is carefully adapted to its context, audience and purpose.

Every text has a specific intent, audience and level of formality. My role is to understand these elements and faithfully transfer them across languages. I take the time to research, refine and adapt each project so that the final result reads as if it were originally written in English.

I am a certified translator with the Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec (OTTIAQ), and I hold a master’s degree in Translation Studies, a bachelor’s degree in French and Spanish, and am currently completing a graduate diploma in Legal Translation. My academic training and professional certification allow me to work confidently across my areas of specialization, ensuring my work meets high professional and ethical standards.

I see my role as bridging the language gap—making sure your message is creative when it matters, precise when it counts. If you’re looking for a translator to help you bridge that gap, please get in touch.
