Bio

I am a professional English-Swahili translator, transcriber, subtitler, and consecutive interpreter with over 10 years of experience providing accurate, natural, and culturally appropriate language services.

I specialize in English-Swahili translation and localization, with experience across a wide range of fields, including finance, banking, insurance, healthcare, legal, technical, education, marketing, sports, and iGaming. I have worked on both general and specialized content, adapting translations to the intended audience while maintaining the original meaning, tone, and context.

My multimedia experience includes audio and video transcription, subtitling with and without time coding, subtitle translation, proofreading, and linguistic quality assurance. I have also contributed to AI and speech-data projects involving Swahili transcription, segmentation, translation, and annotation.

I am proficient with SDL Trados Studio, MemoQ, Memsource, Subtitle Edit, Aegisub, and Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as other translation and multimedia workflows.

I have worked with clients and language-service providers on projects involving organizations such as Uber, Amazon, and other international and regional businesses, handling both high-volume and deadline-sensitive assignments.

Language pair: English - Swahili

Services: Translation | Localization | Transcription | Subtitling | Proofreading | LQA | Consecutive Interpretation

I prioritize accuracy, consistency, natural language, confidentiality, and reliable turnaround, and I am available for both ongoing and project-based assignments.
