I’m Sylvie Colomb, a bilingual English–French translator, technical writer, and content specialist based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I help businesses communicate clearly across languages—especially in engineering, environmental sciences, green technologies, manufacturing, and digital training.
With over 15 years of experience in technical and scientific translation, I specialize in EN→FR (Canada and France) translation, SEO-optimized content writing, and plain-language communication. My background in environmental science, climate change, biodiversity, transportation, and sustainability allows me to translate and write with accuracy, credibility, and a deep understanding of your industry.
Researching terminology thoroughly is my key to delivering content that is clear, concise, and adapted to your audience – no filler, always value. Whether you need a full translation, a bilingual website, a technical document, or user-friendly marketing content, I ensure consistency, precision, and cultural relevance.
Already have your content in English or French? I provide professional translation, transcreation, and localization to help your message resonate in the other language. Need editing or proofreading? I offer quality assurance, stylistic review, and error-free polishing to elevate your text and give it that final “wow” factor.
Services I offer:
- Technical and scientific EN→FR translation
- SEO-optimized bilingual content writing
- Transcreation & cultural adaptation
- Editing, proofreading, and QA
- Website, product, and technical documentation translation
- Green tech, engineering, and environmental content
If you’re looking for a reliable bilingual partner who combines technical expertise with clear communication, I’d love to hear from you.

Testimonials
I have been working with Sylvie on content writing projects for our clients. She was very transparent with her rates and delivered her work well before our deadline. She managed to research, understand and write quite challenging content – skills that not every content writer is able to demonstrate. Both myself and the client are pleased with her work and will continue to hire her services for future projects.
