What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or contribute to high-quality English–Arabic translation and localization work, particularly across legal, financial, technical, software, media, and institutional content, with strong terminology, QA, and delivery practices.

At Josour Translation, I manage end-to-end delivery of legal, financial, commercial, technical, and media translation—from scoping and resourcing through translation-memory setup, terminology management, review, and final QA. I build client termbases and translation memories that keep recurring accounts consistent and reduce per-word costs over time.

I've localized enterprise software including Windows 8 and SAP BusinessObjects at Saudisoft, led translation teams for 25 TV, the Egyptian Ministry of Investment, and Al Masry Al Youm, and delivered work for Abu Dhabi Police, COMESA, and UAE public-sector entities. Across 15+ years, I’ve combined English–Arabic translation, MTPE, subtitling, interpreting, and CAT-driven quality workflows to deliver publication-ready content under demanding deadlines.
