Natural Translations was created by Maura Byrne after she worked as an in-house trainee translator and editor at United Nations Headquarters, New York, and the European Parliament, Luxembourg.

Now based in Luxembourg, I continue to specialise in translation for international organisations and also offer translation and linguistic services to businesses and individual clients. My aim is to deliver high-quality texts in natural English. I provide translations from Spanish and French into English, and I collaborate with a small network of freelance translators working with other language combinations.
