It's been a pleasure working with Charlie over the past few years. Lunii being a small start-up, Charlie is reactive and adaptable to all of our translation needs. It's genuine teamwork, as she takes the time needed to review the content until we are all comfortable with the result. I highly recommend her for your translation requirements.
Emma Mason, Lunii
It´s a pleasure to work with Charlotte Coombe. She has beautifully translated a sample for La Hija deL Este into English and both the agency and the author we are most pleased about the result. Also, she is fast and the communication with her is easy, honest and most agreeable - which I value a lot. She is indeed an exceptional translator, so I cannot do anything else than to recommend you to contact her if you need a translator, you won’t be disappointed.
Laura Palomares, Literary Agent, Carmen Balcells Literary Agency
Had the great pleasure and privilege to work with Charlie on a literary translation of Eduardo Berti's novel The Imagined Land, which she translated from the Spanish language. Her work was exceptional, and every correspondence with her was professional and timely. I recommend her in the highest regard as a literary translator.
Will Evans, Founder & Publisher, Deep Vellum Publishing
Charlotte translated whole chapters from both of my books, my essay Therapeutic Feminism (Ed. Urano, 2018) and my novel The Women of the Medina Family (Almuzara, 2019), from Spanish to English. Working with her throughout that process has been a dream for an author like me, who feared losing her voice once translated. Nothing further from the truth: Charlotte absolutely got my style, my voice, my rhythm and worked relentlessly till I was 100% happy with the result. I will always recommend her.
Maria Fornet, Author, Coaching Psychologist
It’s a pleasure to work with Charlotte, she’s thoughtful and attentive with language, she captures the author’s tone completely and she is available for any questions one might have. Also, she’s fast and delivers in time with no problem at all, which is a plus these days! I will definitely commission her to do more sample translations for our Spanish authors.
Txell Torrent, Literary Agent, MB Agencia Literaria
Reading my novel Le Témoin des Salomons in English, i.e. seeing it transformed into The Solomon Islands Witness, was a stunning experience for me. Here was the book I wrote, the same but different; like starting anew. And this was all thanks to Charlotte Coombe who skilfully used the right words, the right tempo, the right touch. As a translator and a publisher myself, I know that a translation can be dim or sharp. Charlie's is most definitely sharp, as if she used my eyes, knew my thoughts, had my pen in her hand.
Marc de Gouvenain, Author
I asked Charlotte Coombe to translate my novel Beatriz decidió no casarse after months of looking for a translator and after looking at some samples of her work that are posted on her webpage. With no other reference, I sent her my novel and I must say that the result was enchanting. Reading my novel in another language was just awesome. I really admire Charlotte’s ability of also translating the personality of my characters. She managed to translate the ironies, the humor, and the tone, and that must be very hard to do. She delivered her work on time and she truly is a nice person to work with. I cannot wait to send her my second novel.

A chance meeting with Charlotte Coombe of CMC Translations has proved very fruitful for Bailey Publishing Associates. At the time that we met, I was seeking a translator for some children’s books I had acquired from a French publisher for publication in English. I asked Charlotte to translate some pages as a test before offering her a contract to undertake the translations. These she delivered in good order and on time. Being a linguist myself, I am able to judge her French language skills, and I can confirm they are excellent. In addition, she is intelligent, efficient and delightful to work with. I can highly recommend her.
