Alice Dias-Mercier
Bonjour!
I’m a native speaker born in Nantes where my knowledge and love of the word grew. With an academic background specialised in literature and translation studies, I began my professional career as a Lecturer in French for a variety of organisations in France, the USA and the UK which has been my home for the last decade.
​
In 2018, I founded UkeeLinguists in collaboration with fellow translators. I have combined teaching at King’s College London with independent translation projects ever since. Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, registered as a translator at the Consulate General of France in London and holder of the IoLet Diploma in Translation (English into French, Level 7 Master), I actively and creatively engage in all types of translations.

“Earlier this year, we requested a complex, legal document to be translated for use in internal, as well as external, settings. This professional document included a multitude of legal binding phrases, as well as varied formats. As such, the translated version we received was exactly as expected, having retained all formatting. It was also delivered in a timely matter and was incredibly thorough."
