I’m a senior English–Arabic translator and localization specialist delivering accurate, culturally nuanced content.
What I'm looking for
I’m an English–Arabic translator and localization specialist with 12+ years of experience delivering culturally nuanced work for international agencies and private clients. I specialize in legal, financial, and academic translation, with additional focus on gaming and IT software. I rely on CAT tools and AI-assisted workflows to keep quality high and terminology consistent.
In my freelance work, I translate and localize complex legal documents, including contracts and government filings, while also supporting technical content for gaming, PC hardware manuals, and software documentation. I handle academic translation and editing for theses, journals, and articles, and I’ve also served as a remote interpreter for tourists and students in high-stakes situations.
More recently, I’ve worked as a Translator & Quality Reviewer on a major international localization project for official accounting books, applying strict accuracy for specialized finance terminology and maintaining data confidentiality. I also provide certified translation and proofreading for vital records and driving licenses, along with corporate document translation such as insurance policies, tax reports, and service provision contracts.
