Hello, I need to translate my CV in english, but it's much more tricky than I expected. Of course, it must be written in a perfect english and the words used to describe me must reflect the reliability without being "too much", otherwise I'm dead. I hide with *** stuffs you don't need to read :) Please don't hesitate to give me synonyms which fits better !

Hey I'm a Computer Scientist too!
I formated the profile section as one paragraph, it's more natural like this.
Generally I only see "Computer Scientist" or "Computer Engineer" used. Computer Scientist tends to be a little more theoretical than Computer Engineer.
Let me know if you want any more corrections.
You helped me big time :)

Computer Scientist Engineer in Numerical Methods What is this supposed to represent? Is it your actual job title? If so, it should be in your employment history. If you are using it as a job title in a general sense, then I would probably put it close your name. As far as job titles, you could say "Computer Scientist", "Computer Engineer", "Software Engineer", or "Computer Science Engineer". But not "Computer Scientist Engineer". Maybe try Your Name <line break> Software Engineer specializing in Numerical Methods?
Interest for numerical methods and databases. I think that you should put all this in another section near the end of your CV. See my comment below.
Computer Scientist Engineer (high distinction) -- University of ***. Is this part of the name of your degree or department specialty? If so, then it should probably be "Computer Science Engineering" or "Computer Science and Engineering".
Optimization of a nonconvex and nonlinear problem with hyper-dimensional indexing concerning galvanization for *company name*.
*school name* High school -- Latine-sciences options. What does this mean? I'm assuming it's something specific to the Belgian school system?
French : native fluency.
English : high competency.
Employment You can just say "Employment" without "history" if you want to. It is understood.
2011--Present : Process Engineer -- *company name*.
2007--2011 : Creator and administrator of *product name*, a web service dedicated to the flight management of the *city* flight club. "Web service" is usually two words.
2006--2009 : Cashier at *let's say...Sales Associate would be a good word here. This term is often used here in the US anyway.
Previous activities : Swimming, tennis, running, bicycle, ping-pong. Organizing your interests into past and present activities probably isn't a good idea. The chronology of your interests is not that relevant. You should instead emphasize the different facets of your interests (regardless of time). See comment below.
Here are a few English corrections and suggestions for reorganization. A good CV should be easy to read, well-organized, and to-the-point. You described yourself as “organized” and “methodical” so your CV definitely needs to reflect this!
I would suggest reordering the main categories. The “hard” information (employment and education) should always precede the “soft” information (personal interests). You can also think about renaming some of your categories. For the job descriptions, I rephrased your words into sentence fragments that start with strong verbs (such as “created”, “worked”, “conducted”). This emphasizes action and subtly makes you appear to be a driven go-getter. I’m assuming that this text that you’ve posted to Lang-8 doesn’t reflect whatever formatting you are using on the actual CV. Still though, I noticed that you have several lines that include a lot of information broken up by dashes and multiple colons. Using too many colons and dashes will make your CV appear visually cluttered and it will be difficult for someone to pick out the most relevant bits at a quick glance. Spatially organizing the information with columns and/or indents would be a good solution, but there are lots of other ways to do this (try looking up resume samples to see what works best for you). Using three columns for the employment and education sections (I numbered the information to match a 3 column layout), you could try putting the years (and possibly location) in the left-most column, your job title or degree in the second column (after one or two indents), and the actual descriptions in the third column (which should be the biggest). Also, you need to include the years for your education as well as your employment. The name of your employer or educational institution should be prominently displayed near your job title or degree as well.

You might also want to include the locations (a city and state/region is usually enough) for your employment and education (especially if you have moved around a lot). Anyway, I hope this helps. A good CV makes a big difference. Good luck. Thank you for your suggestions on my children’s book translation.
Thank you so muuuuuuch !
