Bio


I am a reliable Somali freelancer; with top-notch quality in translating, interpreting, proofreading, editing, subtitling, Audio transcription, Transcribing, and Voice Over. I am a native Somali speaker and mastered all Somali dialects (Maay and Maxatiri) spoken in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. I am currently working with Access2interpreters, TransRare, Language Translation service, Wordlights, MTS, Montesino Translation Company,  and Wordminds Translation service on various English and Somali translation and subtitling projects. I can translate all of these languages (Somali, French, Kiswahili) into English & vice. The CAT tools that I mainly use are MemSource, MemoQ, Word Fast, Metcate, or Any other preferred by the Client.

I am a highly energized and self-driven individual, passionate about developing my linguistic career. As a linguist, my commitment can be gauged from the fact that I am an accredited translator.

I have gained extensive experience and insight in this field that is not limited to aspects of interpretation/translation but also proofreading, voice-over, subtitling, and transcriptions.

I am an accomplished communicator with excellent organizational, decision making and time-management skills. I have a track record of consistently meeting and regularly surpassing demanding performance goals.

I am seeking a challenging but rewarding position which is why I was naturally drawn to this exciting opportunity and I hope that you will consider my application.

Pair Language: English, Swahili

Translation: 0.05 USD per word
