Freelance Translator at Freelance
  • Saudi Arabia - Riyadh
  • My current job since July 2013

Translated, and translating, numerous documents, hundreds of thousands of words, in various fields (Legal, financial, medical, Islamic and other technical domains such as media and press, academic, social and general translation) for both local and international customers with a massively high satisfaction rate.

Because Quality matters, my role as a self-employed translator comprises four stages for every translation process, namely, Translation, Editing, Proofreading and Finishing (formatting and refining). I have ever since I started as a freelancer been proud of offering high-quality translation services to all my customers worldwide.

I understand how important deadlines are;
I am always Dead to Deadlines.

Responsible for translating legal documents including contracts, agreements and court documents as well as academic theses.

The reason why I did not stay longer in the office, however, is purely for religious issues with Mr. Hani Hanna, the General Manager of the office, to whom, nevertheless, I owe a great deal. Thanks for the legal experience I earned during my 2-month-work with Mr. Hani especially in lawsuits, litigation and pleadings; and thanks to the constant feedback I had been receiving from him throughout the said period.
