Services
Translation (ATA-certified)
Written. Documents/content that must be converted from English to French. Translation can be certified and or notarized, if necessary. The result is publication‑ready text that preserves meaning, tone, formatting and legal validity.
Simultaneous/Conference interpretation
Spoken language. Spoken French and English are rendered in real time while the presenter continues uninterrupted. Ideal for conferences, webinars, and large meetings. Provided onsite with interpreting headsets or remotely through compatible virtual platforms.
Consecutive interpretation
Spoken language. The speaker pauses every few sentences while the interpreter conveys the message in French or English. Suited to business meetings, one‑on‑one discussions, site visits, medical consultations, and similar settings. Offered onsite or remotely; chuchotage (whispered) and escort interpreting are available.
Project Management
End‑to‑end coordination of large or multi‑language assignments: team selection, scheduling, glossary control, quality checks, and final delivery through a single point of contact.
Language Service Consulting
Assessment of an event or project to identify the most effective language services. Provides guidance on interpretation modes, document needs, and best practices for working with linguists.

Testimonials
"Over the last 6 months, Andrea McKay and her colleagues have provided EN<>FR interpretation services for our One Risk capacity building project in West and Central Africa. This included virtual technical meetings, an online webinar series and a virtual 3-day knowledge dissemination event. We’ve been very pleased with the quality of her work and her professionalism and hope there will be an opportunity to collaborate again sometime in the future."
