Career/Experience

I am a British-born translator and researcher based in France and I specialize in academic texts; I also teach translation at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Well educated and cultured (MA, PhD), and a widely published academic author, I have excellent writing and research skills. I also hold the Diploma in Translation [EQF Level 7] from the Chartered Institute of Linguists, and Chartered Linguist (Translator) status. My translation and proof reading work includes texts in the fields of sociology, ethnography, genealogy, anthropology, music, history, theology, aesthetics, education, tourism, visual and plastic arts, linguistics, graphic design, biodiversity and renewable energies.

My translations appear in leading journals in the social sciences, history, linguistics, anthropology and the creative arts, and in the six-volume book series 'Convents in Exile 1600-1800' (London: Pickering & Chatto, 2012-13), ed. Bowden. I transcribe archival documents, translate, proof read and copy edit for individual clients in many countries, as well as corporate and public institutions.

A detailed CV of my qualifications and experience can be downloaded from my Traduguide homepage.

Clients' comments:

"Amanda Haste provided not only efficient translations of historical documents accurately and punctually (even providing some translations before their due date) but her own knowledge of the cultural and historical context of these documents allowed for a more sensitive rendering of the text. She was professional and a pleasure to work with."

Dr Carmen M. Mangion (Lecturer, Birkbeck, University of London)
