What I'm looking for

I’m looking for full-time or remote Telugu localization work where quality matters—translation, transcreation, LQA, and content operations using CAT tools—supporting global products with consistent accuracy and culturally relevant tone. Open to relocation.

I’m a Senior Telugu Linguist with over 6 years of experience in translation, localization, transcreation, and content moderation for leading brands like Google and Amazon.

I focus on delivering high-quality Telugu content with a consistent 97% accuracy rate. I translate with CAT tools such as Polyglot and support UI/UX localization, marketing content, and help content for various Google products.

I handle linguistic quality assurance (LQA), translation output testing, and DTP finalization to ensure content is culturally accurate and user-friendly. I also perform editing, proofreading, and quality checks aligned with project-specific guidelines.

Beyond core linguistics, I manage transcreation and content adaptation to maintain brand tone and contextual relevance in the Telugu market. I’ve also worked on subtitling, transcription, and AI prompt and response evaluation to support natural language processing and machine learning models.
