D’Anaïs Gebhart (M1) :

Greetings everyone around Europe!

I am currently in Barcelona, where I am doing my internship at Transperfect. I am very lucky to be an intern as an internal linguist with the French team! I do a variety of tasks such as proofreading and the task of Final Eyeing, which is to make sure that everything is perfect, both linguistic and non-linguistic. I also translate a lot in order to train and I have been improving thanks to all the feedback from my sponsor! There is a lot of pressure on the job, because everything has to be absolutely perfect, so there is no room for error. It makes my internship all the more interesting and challenging!

The linguists are fun and nice, and there is a very dynamic atmosphere which I find inspiring! There is also always fresh fruit and coffee 🙂 I made friends with people from around the world with whom I can share my passion for languages and linguistics thanks to my internship!

The weather is also great, so after work a stroll to the beach with feet in the sea is mandatory!!

Saludos,

Anaïs

​¡​Hola​!​ de la part d​’​Agathe et de Maria. Nous avons fait notre stage à Audioprojects, une entreprise de post-production​ en Espagne​. C’était une expérience très enrichissante qui nous a permis d’apprendre les bases du doublage, ainsi que tout le procédé qu’il y a derrière…. Et bien sûr, on a ​pu ​profit​er​ du magnifique climat espagnol !

De Juliette Arlen en Master 1 :

Greetings from Utrecht in the Netherlands, where I’m doing my internship at Overtaal Language Services, a daughter company of Transperfect.

I am working as a Project Manager in the Benelux team. We work on all kinds of translation projects, mainly from Dutch. My role is to conduct a project from its very beginning to its end. I calculate the budget to spend, choose and contact the right linguists, and make sure that the project goes smoothly.

Being a project manager is not always easy and sometimes you have to work under pressure, but I like a challenge and I’m enjoying what I’m doing!

Everyone in my team is around my age and we come from all different parts of the world. I love being part of a young, dynamic and multicultural team!

The Netherlands are sure a nice place to live and work in, although the weather can be quite difficult to deal with. I’m actually cycling to work everyday and loving it!

Groetjes,

Juliette

De Chiara Neuhaus en Master 2:

Heya everyone!

This year I’m undertaking my internship at VoiceBox, which is a voice-over and subtitling company based in Swansea, Wales.

I’m getting involved in a lot of projects involving subtitles, translations, transcriptions and much more. I do enjoy it and my team is really great.

We share our office with our sister company Wolfestone. This creates a really fun multicultural atmosphere.

So, as you might noticed, I’m having great fun and would almost love to stay here… Almost… If the weather could be as nice as in the lovely south-west of France, I’d be happy to adapt to the Welsh accents.

I hope everyone else is enjoying their placements.

Hwyl fawr!

Chiara

Anaïs Brenière (M1) ci scrive da Milano:

Hello dear person who reads my message!

I am writing from Milan, where I am currently doing my internship, in a Localization company called Synthesis.

For now, it is a really good internship. They don’t really know how to deal with interns because they are not used to hiring them but I really like it anyway.

There are a lot of foreigners working here so we all are in an international environment and I am talking in French, English and Italian, which is perfect for me! We switch languages at work, during parties and also at lunch, in nice restaurants with good Italian food.

People are reaaaaally nice, funny and so helpful… it’s like a second Erasmus for me 😀

The work is new, I am actually part of the Localization Quality Assurance Tester team. We take care of testing video games and apps localized in other languages (in French for us) to check if the localization matches. It is really interesting, even maybe more than translation itself. I really like it and I could actually stay here… Well, I say this because I’ve been here for less than a month but I really do appreciate this part of the process.

Anyway, everything is fine for me and I hope everything is going well in Dijon as well! And anywhere else, for the other interns! 😀

Will, I will have an Italian beer for you!

See you soon and take care.

Anaïs Brenière, from Milan with joy.

Greetings from Dublin, and Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

I am currently doing my internship at the customer service department at MoGi. This company provides a customer support and a localization service for a diverse range of clients from the video game industry. My work now consists of duties such as investigating what we can do for players and give the appropriate answer to them. Currently, I am taking care of the French and German player bases. In the short time I have been working here I have gained lots of knowledge about how to process a players demands and endorsed some responsibility regarding the management of the German team. I am also working in collaboration with the localization department, which is a nice change. We work continuously under a strict time deadline, but this does not keep us from playing board games at lunch time! I have the chance to have wonderful colleagues, who are always available to answer questions and make jokes.

Cheers!

De Juliane Daudan en Master 1 :

Greetings from Limerick,

Aside from translating documents and writing articles all day long for the company’s blog, I have many opportunities to attend business meetings and events of all kinds, which is really awesome. Being treated as an equal by CEOs of big Irish companies is rather priceless 😉

Everything is going on very well, even the weather!

A picture is worth a thousand words, so four pictures almost make an internship report…
De Marie Valerio en Master 2 (Millenium Film Festival, Bruxelles) :

I did my internship at the Millenium International Documentary Film Festival in Brussels. My job was to subtitle documentaries as well as some trailers for the festival. I also had the occasion to work on the event, to meet some of the directors and protagonists of the films and to see how a film festival works from the inside. Although the deadlines were really tight and we were always in a rush, it was an overall great experience and an interesting challenge, as I had to work on many different films about many different topics.

Puisque tous les stages se terminent un jour, et que toutes les cartes postales ne sont pas numériques…

De Marion Degueurce en Master 1 :

Salut tout le monde!

Je fais mon stage a Montréal, dans une agence de casting et de post-production. Je m’occupe principalement de la coordination des castings de voix pour des enregistrements (publicités, jeux vidéos, documentaires etc.). C’est vraiment intéressant de découvrir l’importance des voix qu’on choisis pour un doublage, surtout ici au Québec, où  les accents et dialectes sont encore plus nombreux qu’en France. J’ai également fait un peu de sous-titrage et de gestion de site internet, bref mes taches sont super variées. De plus, les gens ici sont adorables et la ville incroyable, ce qui ne gâche rien a mon séjour tabernacle!

From Chiara Neuhaus in Master 1 :

Greetings from St Albans, England, where I’m currently doing my internship at Atlas Translations.

Here I’m learning everything a project manager should know. Together with very friendly colleagues our work is to send out quotes, find the perfect translator for each project, do some proofreading and prepare all the paper work involved by this kind of work (purchase orders, invoices, remittances etc..).

During my first two months here I was also able to explore London (only 20 minutes away) and other parts of the UK. I hope I will be able to see even more of the country in the remaining months.

Un mot joyeux de Julien Dross en Master 2 :

C’est avec une satisfaction non dissimulée que je vous annonce, photo à l’appui, que j’ai aujourd’hui, au milieu de ma dernière semaine de stage auprès de Leginda GmbH, signé un contrat de travail pour y devenir chef de projet. Merci au Master T2M d’avoir provoqué indirectement cette opportunité!

De Guillaume Lhoumaud, Master 2 2014-15 :

J’ai fait mon stage dans un petit studio de doublage catalan, situé à 40 km de Barcelone.
L’ambiance y est bonne et le travail plutôt agréable.
J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir toucher un peu à tous les aspects du doublage et de découvrir où et comment avaient été doublés certains films que j’avais vus.
Très bonne expérience si on aime la vie de toute petite ville ou si on est prêt à faire l’aller/retour depuis Barcelone tous les jours.

D’Elena Longo en Master 2 :

Since January, I’ve been holding the position of Vendor Manager Intern at TransPerfect Barcelona. As such, I am in charge of recruiting and testing freelance translators in Asian language pairs (Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, Hindi, Vietnamese, Malay…) as well as subject matter experts and cultural consultants for specific clients. I’ve also been enjoying everything Barcelona has to offer, from the beach to the many bars and restaurants, the nightlife and amazing views at every corner.

De Fanny Carnat en Master 2 :

Je suis actuellement en stage en région parisienne à Shogunmoto, un site de e-commerce spécialisé dans la pièce moto. Je traduis pour eux les catalogues de fournisseurs étrangers pour pouvoir les intégrer sur le site internet. C’est de la traduction très technique mais vraiment intéressante ! Le job rêvé pour une fana de moto !
