Experienced linguist and localization editor delivering accurate Somali, English, and Swahili translations for business teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced linguist focused on translating business and management texts with accuracy and cultural authenticity. I work across Somali, English, and Swahili, adapting content so it reads naturally for the intended audience.
In my roles, I’ve supported localization efforts that improve user experience for international clients. I’ve translated and adapted technical documentation, software interfaces, and operational materials, while collaborating with cross-functional teams to handle linguistic and cultural nuances.
As a Localization Editor (Casual) for Rainbow company, I correct spelling, punctuation, fluency, register, and terminology consistency. I also provide editing, fact-checking, and proofreading, translating technical information into clear, concise documents for both technical and non-technical personnel.
Earlier, I worked as a Somali Translator with Freesom LLC and as a casual Interpreter, delivering real-time oral translations for clients and interpreting conference calls. I bring a detail-focused, deadline-aware approach, with a strong commitment to exceeding client expectations.
