What I'm looking for

I'm looking for translation, editing, proofreading, or localization work where I can apply Arabic-English expertise, CAT tools, terminology research, and cultural adaptation to high-quality specialized content.

At Malafat for Translation & Public Services, I translate more than 30 legal, medical, and technical documents each week between Arabic and English, preserving tone, meaning, and cultural nuance.

I also proofread and edit over 100 pages monthly, conduct specialized terminology research, and use SDL Trados Studio and translation memory tools to maintain quality under tight deadlines. My work includes preparing official documents for legalization and authentication and supporting visa, immigration, and travel consulting processes through accurate document translation.

Alongside professional translation, I researched Arabic poetry translation through Mahmoud Darwish’s work, examining literal translation, adaptation, and equivalence while balancing meaning and poetic structure.
