Felicity with words

The ability to express oneself in an apt and pleasing manner, especially in a piece of writing

“She has a remarkable felicity with words.”

My name is Felicity Sadler and I offer a bespoke French to English translation and transcreation service specialising in the luxury and beauty industries.

My aim is to build a personal relationship with all my clients, creating a sense of trust and collaboration that brings mutual success and fulfilment.

I created Felicity with Words to help you find your voice in English and allow you to spread your wings as you take your business beyond borders.

Soar to success

Translation is like a trust fall. You’re buying a service that you can’t fully evaluate, and that leaves you vulnerable.

If you don’t have complete confidence in your translation provider, you’ll always wonder: How do I sound in English? Is my brand’s message being conveyed correctly? Are people seeing me the way I want them to?

My aim is to ensure that your English translation receives the same attention, expertise and care as your original French text. Collaboration is key to my approach and together, we’ll create something you’ll be both proud of and have complete faith in.

Because I work directly with my clients, you can be confident that your content will be consistent, high-quality and beautifully written.

My way of working is the polar opposite to large translation agencies and language service providers, who drive down costs using AI, machine translation and outsourcing to the lowest bidder. I’ve seen it first hand, and I hate it just as much as you do. It’s time to do things differently.

Take back control over your translations.

“I’ve just spoken to the client on the phone and she is so pleased with your translation. She is thrilled. You’ve managed to convey her technical/poetic style incredibly well. She even thinks the translation is better than the original 😊. Thank you so much for your dedication and quality work 😊!”

Marina Khizhnyak, Project Manager at Ethitra

“Felicity has been one of my go-to translators for several years, and I highly recommend her. She consistently delivers high-quality work on time and follows instructions to the letter. I really value her can-do attitude and versatility – she handles both technical content and editorial texts that need a natural, flowing style with ease. What really sets her apart is her collaborative approach and sharp eye for detail. She genuinely cares about helping the client get the best result and avoid potential pitfalls. I know I can trust her research, and if any issues come up, she flags them so we can find solutions together. This proactive, client-focused mindset is invaluable.”

Helene Tammik, Winning English

“Felicity has been working with us for a number of years and we at Ethitra are really lucky to be able to count on her and her beautiful writing. Every project we entrust to her is treated with the utmost care: she thinks ahead by asking the right questions in advance and thoroughly researches the subject matter to find the right information and appropriate terminology. In addition to her excellent editorial style, Felicity is able to convey messages so that they resonate with the end reader – which adds value to our clients’ communications and brand image. Last but not least, we appreciate Felicity’s interpersonal skills and personal qualities; it’s an enriching experience every time we work with her!”

Irina Boukhtoiarova, Co-Founder of Ethitra

“Felicity is a highly dependable, professional and talented translator with whom we have been working for many years. Never known to have missed a deadline, she is capable of providing the linguistic gymnastics that so many clients require but which so few translators can deliver: accurate translation, thorough research, excellent style and appropriate register. She is also flexible in her working methods, and a lovely person to boot. Definitely an asset!”

Jennifer L, Senior Linguist at Acolad

“I’ve been working with Felicity since 2014, and have only good things to say about the translation service that she provides. Working mainly on translations for our clients in the luxury sector, she always delivers accurate translations that demonstrate her marketing flair and a clear knowledge of the target audience.”

Bethanie M., Project Manager

“I have known and worked with Felicity for many years as both a colleague and a freelance supplier, and she has consistently delivered high quality, well-researched French-to-English translations for our clients in the luxury industry. She writes with talent and style and always delivers on time. I can’t recommend her services highly enough!”

Susan Warren, Senior Linguist at Acolad
