I am Naomi Mottram, I work as a Freelance Translator from French and Russian into English. I also offer proofreading – ideal for previously translated texts or for texts written by a non native speaker of English.

I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2011 with my Bachelors in French and Russian, and completed my MA Translation at the University of Bristol in 2021 with distinction. I have worked in the translation industry alongside my day job in higher education since 2018 and in summer 2023 I switched my focus entirely to language services.
I translate written texts, always aiming to provide a version in English that accurately reflects the source, and conveys its content, style, presentation and tone with great clarity.
My main specialisms are creative, literary and research related texts, as well as marketing, legal and engineering. Over the past few years in my studies and professional assignments I have translated and proofread:
- Short stories
- Clinical research documentation
- Lab protocols
- Interview transcripts
- Marketing emails
- News articles
- Marriage agreements
And many other miscellaneous documents.
If you require my translation or proofreading services, please feel free to contact me through the contact form and I will be glad to give you a quote!
