Irene Alonso, Director

« Zoé has been a regular translator for Human Rights Watch since 2011, translating a variety of documents from English into French, including statements, press releases, official letters, reports, and subtitles.

She is meticulous in her work. Our documents involve sensitive, difficult material that includes specific legal and political language [...]. Zoé does more than just translate the words – she reads the document to fully understand its meaning and conveys that in her translations. She is a careful reader and sometimes catches inconsistencies or errors in the original English during translation that we are then able to fix in the original.

She shoes a strong commitment and professionalism in her work and responds promptly when asked for an assignment [...]. We often have tight deadlines [...]. Zoé is very efficient and turns things in on time, which has made her a valuable asset to [us]. »
