Bio

An HPI Certified Translator | Google Certified Translator and Editor | Advanced Trados User of Any Version | An Academician | A Language Enthusiast | 16-Year Experience in the Translation and Localization Industry | Competitive Rate

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY AND OBJECTIVE

I am a full time freelance translator, currently living in East Java, Indonesia, holding an Associate Degree of English Literature and Linguistics (GPA: 3.96 out of 4), Master's Degree in English Teaching and Learning (GPA: 3.86 out of4), member of Certified PRO Network (a certified international translator network), a Google Certified Translator (completed Google LSP training and certification) and an HPI Certified Translator (certified by the Association of Indonesian Translators in 2015) and intensely working on a wide range of translation and localization projects since 2006. Every project is special to me; regardless of the volume!  I usually spend my time researching the languages, writing language related articles, blogging and playing around with some CAT (Computer Aided Translation) Tools. However, you will never know my quality until you hire me.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND AND TRANSLATION CERTIFICATION

  • Bachelor Degree in English Literature and Linguistics - Best Graduate [GPA 3.96 of 4.00]

  • Others (I have used a wide range of online platforms provided by my clients, so there is no reason that I will take longer time to learn and be familiar with the new platform you probably provide - in short I am dependable in this case.)

QA TOOLS USED

Some CAT Tools have their own built-in QA tools, but often, they cannot dive into deeper and more complex errors and they can only handle files on a single basis; they cannot handle 2 or more files for consistency, etc. I am personally aware of this issue lately and the need for coping with this issue shows high demand. This is a 'go-extra-mile' effort to ensure quality translation. To be specific, I use:

  • ApSIC Xbench
  • QA Distiller 9
  • Verifika
  • Y-Snell-Tools (for spell-checking)
  • Others (I sometimes use clients' customized QA tools, such QA Detective, etc. upon their request)

PROJECT HISTORY

A lot of things have passed and a lot of projects were completed successfully. Not to mention, the translation trends in 2023 and the upcoming ones have covered me around and I am ready for any projects and challenges. Due to the NDA, you may have the project history in details offline instead of online through this platform. Thank you very much for all of those who already dropped by here.
