Tsion Gebru
@tsiongebru
I’m a translator specializing in Amharic and Tigrinya with localization QA expertise.
What I'm looking for
I translate high-quality English-to-Amharic and English-to-Tigrinya (and vice versa) with cultural nuance and strict attention to detail. As a native Amharic speaker, I deliver accurate translations across a wide range of documents and I’m committed to flawless work within strict deadlines, using CAT tools to keep quality consistent.
I also bring hands-on document translation and proofreading experience, including volunteering as a Document Translator and translating, proofreading, and editing content for clarity and correctness. In customer-facing roles, I’ve supported client onboarding and handled inquiries by explaining services, contracts, timelines, and deliverables.
What sets me apart is my localization expertise from working as an Amharic Application Tester on the Testilo platform. I perform comprehensive localization QA, usability testing, and bug reporting so localized content and applications are fully functional and culturally appropriate for Amharic-speaking users.
