@joshuatalemwa
Swahili-native translator and accounting student delivering precise, natural Swahili↔English translations for finance, transport, and academic work.
TanzaniaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Swahili-native translator with a strong accounting background, bringing both linguistic fluency and subject-matter knowledge to every project. Language is craft, not just conversion—and I aim for work that reads naturally in both languages.
With prior experience at TAZARA (Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority) as a Virtual Assistant, I’m used to precision, tone, and deadline awareness. I translate business and finance content like contracts, reports, certificates, and company communications, ensuring accuracy and formal appropriateness in both languages.
I also support finance & transport documents, academic and research materials, and website localization for Tanzanian and East African audiences. From transcription and audio/video localization to proofreading and quality checks, I stay professional, communicate consistently, and proactively address challenges to keep projects on track.
