Experienced freelance translator specializing in English and Turkish languages.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated freelance translator with extensive experience in translating a variety of documents from English to Turkish and German to English. My work encompasses literary, academic, educational, marketing, and commercial materials, ensuring that each translation is not only accurate but also culturally relevant. I pride myself on my attention to detail, which is evident in my proofreading and transcription work, where I maintain high standards of grammar, punctuation, and consistency.
Throughout my career, I have actively sought feedback from clients to ensure their satisfaction and understanding of the translated materials. My experience as a contractor translator for bet365 has further honed my skills in translating website content and creating style guides. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree at Potsdam University, focusing on Anglophone Modernities in Literature and Culture, which enriches my understanding of language and translation.
