What I'm looking for

I'm looking for language evaluation, translation, localization, or linguistic QA work involving Yoruba, English, generative AI, and high-quality culturally appropriate content.

I've translated, reviewed, and localized English↔Yoruba content since 2018, with a focus on natural Nigerian Yoruba usage, cultural context, and publication-ready quality.

At Language Solutions Africa, I localized websites, mobile applications, software interfaces, business communications, and marketing content for Yoruba-speaking audiences. I collaborated with project managers and used CAT tools, translation memories, glossaries, and terminology resources to support multilingual projects through final linguistic QA.

At Global Language Services, I performed machine translation post-editing and linguistic review, correcting literal translations, unnatural expressions, grammar issues, and contextual errors while following client style guides.

I'm also experienced in evaluating generative AI and LLM responses for accuracy, fluency, naturalness, relevance, instruction adherence, tone, and cultural appropriateness in Yoruba and English, including written and voice-based evaluation tasks.
