I've been working as a freelance translator for more than 14 years locally in Iran. Just three months ago, I decided to expand my activities and look into the international market. Although my language combination is not that rich in jobs and assignments ( FarsiEnglish ) but I made a special website and now, I am having regular jobs with many clients all over the world.
