Bio

A
linguist and translator, with a Chopin-like approach in as far as the
knowledge, the gift, the art, and the skills a proficient wordsmith needs to
have. This is in the sense that "Knowing two languages does not make one a
translator any more than having ten fingers makes one a pianist
".

It
is the having of these competencies that I pride myself in and employ in
fine-tuning, producing, and orchestrating (Arabic - English) target
language texts.
  An orchestration meant
to reflect an accurate, optimal, flawless, and faithful approximation to the
spirit, style, tone, nuance, and verbatim of the source texts.

Equally
performing other language-related services,
  
including, proofreading, copyediting, transcription, subtitling,
localization, annotation, as well as other linguistic consultation tasks.

Native-Arabic
speaking linguist and translator having an innate passion for excellence.
  A passion, anchored by triple specialized
academic majors, enriched, refined, crystalized, and developed over 25 years
into proven competent expertise.


An
established background in a wide range of translation specialty, including IT, financial, educational, marketing, legal, business, technical, NGOs, and creative writing
translation.
