Adlane Debassi — Expert Sworn Translator | AFTraduction
Mr Adlane Debassi
Chief Executive Officer of AFTraduction
Court-appointed expert translator-interpreter at the Dijon Court of Appeal
Arabic · English · French — all combinations
Full member of the SFT
A trained translator and interpreter, I have been working in professional translation for over ten years. After studying at the University of Algiers and specialising in legal and financial translation, I developed expertise covering the Arabic, English, and French language combinations in all directions.
My career has led me to work on diverse projects — international contracts, asylum proceedings, medical records, civil status documents — before founding AFTraduction in September 2022, as a subsidiary of the AFT group. Today, as Chief Executive Officer, I lead a dedicated team and coordinate a network of over 700 professional linguists covering more than 190 languages.
Alongside managing the agency, I continue to practise personally as a translator and interpreter, particularly for assignments requiring judicial expertise or particular sensitivity in the medical and social fields.

About AFTraduction
Founded in September 2022, AFTraduction is a professional translation and interpreting agency based in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis). The agency is part of the AFT group and a member of the CNET (Chambre Nationale des Entreprises de Traduction).
AFTraduction operates in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 17100 standard and relies on a network of over 700 certified linguists, covering more than 190 languages and dialects. Our services include sworn translation, specialised translation (legal, medical, financial, technical), telephone and on-site interpreting, as well as complementary transcription, subtitling, and voice-over services.
As founder and director, I designed AFTraduction around a fundamental principle: every translation must be carried out by a qualified professional, a native speaker, specialising in the relevant field. This requirement is reflected in a multi-stage quality control process — translation, revision by a subject-matter expert, and final validation — which guarantees the accuracy, terminological precision, and regulatory compliance of every deliverable.
