Sara Nilsson
@saranilsson
I’m a senior translator specializing in AI-assisted localization and nuanced, quality content.
SwedenWhat I'm looking for
I’m a freelance translator delivering optimized, nuanced texts with a strong focus on quality and detail. With more than 10 years of experience in content and localization, I translate, postedit, edit, revise, and proofread diverse text types for specific contexts and target audiences.
My work spans marketing, business, sustainability, data protection and privacy translation, e-commerce, beauty and cosmetics, and travel and tourism. I adapt copy and claims to scientific and legal environments in Sweden, ensure consistent terminology across media, and support projects with transcription and quality checks.
I believe AI can enhance translation efficiency and help highlight nuance and context, while the human eye provides the final touch. I’ve also optimized translation and proofreading processes and closely collaborated with product, scientific, legal, and international marketing teams to deliver reliable language support.
