The word

"The word has a mild sound; it is used sweetly in poetry and is sung romantically in hymns; it is also uttered affectionately in dark lanes behind trees, and sometimes at street corners; but it appears, for all its mildness, to have something in it very forcible and violent."
T.F. Powys

I DO NOT FIGHT:
"I do not fight with my texts. I just manipulate them until I get my way."
Anna Haxen, Danish to English translator

La Question

L'oeuvre n'est pas une série de réponses, elle est une série de questions, elle n'est pas des explications, elle est des demandes d'explication, des demandes d'éclaircissement... C'est bien cela une oeuvre: une série d'interrogations et puisqu'il y a construction on peut la considérer comme une architecture d'interrogations. Si tout pouvait s'expliquer, il n'y aurait pas de discours.
Tout oeuvre doit être mise en question. Comme on dirait: une mise en scène. Au bout du compte, il n'y a pas de réponse à donner. En tous cas, il n'y a pas de réponse définitive. Ainsi, ce n'est pas la réponse qui éclaire, c'est la question.

In brief

Allison Wright is a German, French and Portuguese to English translator based in Portugal who specialises in corporate communications both online and on paper, and has in-depth, extensive experience in the world of viticulture and oenology. She focuses on producing well-crafted and deftly worked texts worthy of public scrutiny which convey precisely the message clients wishing to enhance their export profile want to get across.
That she is serious about business and translation is also reflected in the large English editing projects she undertakes during the very hot summers in the Algarve. This alone provides ample proof that she has earned the praise received from a discerning client of being a passionate translator.
Allison began translating professionally in 1987, has been an accredited member of SATI since 2001, and a member of APTRAD in Portugal since its inception in early 2015.
