@keithcheung
Experienced localization specialist and translator fluent in multiple languages.
What I'm looking for
With over a decade of experience in localization and translation, I have honed my skills in translating websites and content from English to Chinese for high-profile clients such as Google and YouTube. My journey began as a Senior Translator at Central Language Services Limited, where I translated and edited financial and legal documents for major clients like HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. This role laid the foundation for my expertise in managing complex translation projects and understanding the nuances of different industries.
During my tenure at Expedia Group, I not only translated content but also developed strong business relationships to support our objectives. I excelled in balancing multiple requests from stakeholders across various brands while maintaining the tone and style of our products. My freelance work has allowed me to further refine my skills and adapt to the ever-evolving demands of the localization industry.
