I deliver certified multilingual translation and interpretation for diplomatic, legal, medical, and financial content.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
I've supported the African Union since 2019, translating high-level diplomatic correspondence, contracts, MOUs, policy documents, and Arabic–English briefings, while delivering 150+ hours of remote simultaneous interpretation for intergovernmental meetings.
For USAID and the Ministry of Health, I localized 18 COVID-19 protocol manuals and 30 public-health communication scripts into Amharic and Oromo, helping make nationwide program materials clear and accessible.
Across global LSPs and Ethiopian government projects, I've delivered 850,000+ words of certified translation, transcription, dubbing, and voice-over across technical, medical, legal, financial, and blockchain content. I use Trados, MemoQ, Xbench, and related QA tools to produce culturally precise, technically accurate, publication-ready work.
