From the technical language in our film to creative wordplay, he found a way to purvey everything into French even when it didn't have exact cultural equivalents abroad. There was one pun in particular for which we'd spent weeks trying to find a translation. When Brad looked at it, he quickly came up with a brilliant solution." —Michael McDonald, Broccoli Film Initiative "Brad delivered high-quality, consistent, and client-ready translations for everything from PowerPoint decks to simulation exercise materials to trainee communications... He often provided added value with suggestions for clarity... Given the highly technical content and high standards for training organizers (at WHO, US CDC, GAVI, UNICEF) and the very quick turnarounds on materials, we truly could not have gotten it all done without Brad’s expertise and support." —GAVI, The Vaccine Alliance "Juste parfait, que ce soit en délai ou en qualité." —Samy Daigurande, TEEPTRAK "Brad is the best out there." —Ben Dobson

"Bradley has worked with Karbon for over three years, consistently delivering professional translation across the Karbon app, marketing websites, and other marketing and support material. He takes a nuanced, human approach with extensive cultural and colloquial knowledge, and always delivers ahead of schedule. He has also researched and built a glossary and style guidelines to ensure consistency throughout all of Karbon’s Canadian French content. Bradley frequently addresses context and tone, provides multiple options for localisation, and opens discussion around finding the best solution. His approach is friendly, with a keen attention to detail and clear intention to communicate the most appropriate message. I would recommend Bradley to anyone!"
