I translate legal, financial, medical, and technical content across Hebrew, English, and German.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered Hebrew, English, and German translations for Tomedes, Legaltrans, Isracard, Harel Insurance, Fischer & Behar, and Tel Aviv University, covering legal contracts, financial reports, medical documents, technical manuals, and marketing content.
At Google’s Rosetta Team, I translated technical and IT content for multilingual software localization while contributing programming support to translation workflows and tool development. I use MemoQ and SDL Trados to maintain consistency, proofread and edit for precision, and manage concurrent projects to tight deadlines.
