EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I am a Bachelor’s graduate in Simultaneous Interpretation from Al-Azhar University with proven experience translating and localizing content across gaming, business, and research sectors. I focus on culturally accurate, tone-preserving translations that resonate with target audiences.
As a Translator & Localization Specialist, I localized AAA videogame titles into Arabic, transcreated idiomatic humor and pop-culture references for the MENA region, and handled marketing, UI, in-game scripts, and subtitles across 20+ games. I have also translated business reports, legal files, and market-research materials while supporting transcription and MTPE workflows.
I deliver high-volume, high-quality work remotely—over 100K+ words translated and 5,000+ words edited daily for large-scale projects—collaborating with reviewers and teams to meet deadlines and maintain consistency.
