A Translation That Lacks Proper Context Can Be Costly, Confusing, And Could Cause Setbacks.
A translation that’s 98% accurate is still 2% confusing. And 2% is all it takes to lose a client, credibility, or an opportunity.
I never let that happen.
Hello! Bonjour!
I’m Nene Gaines, and I’m so glad you're checking out my little corner of the internet.
In addition to translating texts accurately, I support clients with clear, reliable English–French interpretation during USCIS interviews and immigration‑related appointments. I help immigration attorneys, applicants, and legal teams ensure their words are conveyed accurately, naturally, and with the professionalism these high‑stakes moments require.
I understand the fine line between a good translation and a great one.
The great one? That’s what I deliver.
Real cultural context
Born in West Africa, I’ve lived in Senegal, France, Canada, and now the United States, with travels across several French‑speaking countries. I don’t just speak French and English—I embody their nuances.
Formatting & structure expertise
Contracts, reports, regulatory docs? I know how they need to look. You won’t be left fixing the layout.
The right background
With an MBA in Finance and a Diploma in French Language Studies, I’m more than just a linguist. I’ve got the acumen to handle complex documents.
A human-first process
We’ll communicate clearly, you’ll always know where we’re at, and I’ll treat your work like it’s mine.
Voice preservation
Especially for books and marketing content. You worked hard on your tone. I make sure it survives the journey across languages.
Tailored, Personal Service
I’ll take the time to understand your needs, your goals, and your audience to make sure everything feels natural, authentic, and just right.
If you want your words to travel well and still sound like you? You’re in the right place.
I’m not just bilingual. I’m bi-cultural.
Born into a multilingual world and raised across cultures—from Senegal to France, and later Canada and the U.S.—I quickly learned that language without culture is like coffee without caffeine — technically fine, but who wants that?
I get how people communicate in both languages. What makes them laugh. What sounds off. What lands emotionally. That’s what makes all the difference — and what I bring to every project.
I’ve seen firsthand how a word misunderstood in a business deal can delay months of work.
How a patient unable to explain their pain is left unheard. How a mistranslated phrase in a legal doc can cause tension where there should be clarity.
That’s why I do what I do.
Here’s exactly what I help you with:
Embassy Translation
Speeches, official letters, delegation briefs, cultural event materials.
I provide translations that are culturally sensitive, protocol-aware, and precise. Every document conveys your intended tone, clarity, and professionalism, ensuring that diplomatic communications, public addresses, and official materials are understood exactly as you intend.
Real Estate Translation
Purchase agreements, settlement contracts, disclosures, notarial documents.
I translate real estate documents with meticulous accuracy and clarity. From contracts to investor materials, every term, clause, and instruction is fully understandable, keeping transactions smooth and minimizing risk. Buyers, sellers, and professionals all stay on the same page, every step of the way.
Smart Contract Translation
Smart contracts, token documents, financial reports, audits.
I combine finance expertise with language precision to translate blockchain and legal content accurately. Every clause, condition, and financial term is clear, ensuring investors, partners, and teams can rely on the translation without guessing or ambiguity.
