@mwitasospeter
I’m a linguistics professional specializing in English–Swahili translation quality evaluation.
TanzaniaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented linguistics professional with over 4 years of hands-on experience in translation quality evaluation and linguistic assessment. I systematically compare source texts (English/Swahili) with translated content to verify meaning accuracy, natural flow, and cultural relevance. I’m known for being reliable, detail-oriented, and ready to support long-term remote translation evaluation projects.
In my roles, I assigned quality scores on a 0–100 scale, focusing on semantic fidelity, grammatical correctness, fluency, and naturalness. I evaluated a wide range of materials—from social media posts to business documents—and consistently provided clear, actionable feedback on issues like mistranslations, omissions, additions, and cultural mismatches. I also maintained strong rating consistency and inter-rater reliability.
Beyond quality evaluation, I translated and edited documents between English and Swahili and performed linguistic quality checks and post-editing on machine translation outputs. I’ve supported localization projects across industries, and I consistently achieved over 98% accuracy through careful review and refinement.
