Source text - English Symptoms of malaria
When you have malaria, the main symptoms will be fever. But you may have one or more of the following symptoms (only mention a couple of them!!):
• Shivering
• Sweat
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomit
• Weakness
• Fatigue and lack of appetite
• Fast breath;
• Joint and muscle pain in adults
KEY MESSAGE: As soon as you develop any of these symptoms, you must go to the hospital or PHCC/PHCU quickly! The longer you wait, the more the malaria collects in your blood. If there is too much malaria in your blood, you may have to be admitted.
If malaria is not treated promptly, your symptoms become more dangerous, and you will have:
• Convulsions
• Unconsciousness
• Very irritable
• High fever
• Severe Diarrhoea
• Constant vomiting
KEY MESSAGE: When you have these symptoms, your life is in danger.
Do not wait to have these symptoms. When you have malaria, you should immediately seek medical assistance.
Translation - French Les symptômes du paludisme
Lorsque vous avez le paludisme, le principal symptôme est la fièvre. Mais vous pouvez avoir un ou plusieurs des symptômes suivants (liste non exhaustive !) :
• frissonnement ;
• sueur ;
• céphalée ;
• nausée ;
• vomissement ;
• asthénie ;
• épuisement et manque d'appétit ;
• respiration rapide ;
• douleurs articulaires et musculaires chez l'adulte.
À RETENIR : dès l'apparition de l'un de ces symptômes, rendez-vous rapidement à l'hôpital ou dans une unité ou un centre de santé primaire rapidement. Plus vous attendez, plus le parasite du paludisme s'accumule dans votre sang. Si votre sang est trop infecté, vous pourriez être hospitalisé.
Si le paludisme n'est pas traité rapidement, les symptômes deviennent plus dangereux, et vous souffrirez de :
• convulsions ;
• perte de connaissance ;
• grande irritabilité ;
• forte fièvre ;
• diarrhée aiguë ;
• vomissements permanents.
À RETENIR : lorsque vous avez ces symptômes, votre vie est en danger.
N'attendez pas d'avoir ces symptômes. Lorsque vous avez le paludisme, consultez immédiatement un médecin.
English to French: Outdoor Lighting Systems General field: Tech/Engineering
Source text - English Empowering Intelligent Energy Solutions
Outdoor lighting for public spaces such as streets, airports, parks, college campuses, monuments, and commercial and retail parking lots provide drivers, pedestrians and residents with visibility and safe passage, but do so at a high energy cost.
In a typical municipality, an outdoor lighting system can account for up to 40% of the city’s total energy use. Combine that with the added cost of maintenance and lighting systems can easily become a city’s single largest expenditure.
Translation - French Des solutions énergétiques intelligentes favorisant une autonomie accrue
L'éclairage extérieur des espaces publics tels que les rues, les aéroports, les parcs, les complexes universitaires, les monuments, les aires de stationnement des magasins et des centres commerciaux permet aux conducteurs, aux piétons et aux riverains de sécuriser leur passage en offrant une bonne visibilité, mais au prix d'un coût énergétique élevé.
Dans une commune typique, le système d'éclairage extérieur peut représenter jusqu'à 40 % de la consommation énergétique totale de la ville. En ajoutant les coûts supplémentaires liés à l'entretien, les systèmes d'éclairage peuvent facilement devenir le premier poste de dépense d'une ville.

I am a French native speaker and I was trained as an engineer. I spent twelve years working in the electronics industry in multinational companies. As a product manager, I was in charge of marketing, promotion, pricing for my product line (integrated devices).
In this context, I had the opportunity to author and translate in both languages several documents such as tutorials, user guides, white papers, leaflets, business presentations… Thanks to this experience and as my communication and orthographic style in French are excellent, I decided to offer my services as a freelance translator.
I offer you high quality work and a true partnership: in addition to a high level of responsiveness and flexibility, I always meet deadlines and have the greatest respect for your confidentiality. I work with Trados Studio 2011.
