About me
WELCOME - SOO DHAWOW - BENVENUTI

I have been a full time Somali translator for over 15 years. I work mostly with UK local government, National Health Service, UK Home Office and Irish Garda, I also translate many security related jobs for the UK and US government. So far I have translated over 5,000,000 words.
I also work as a team with 2 other translators, one from the north of Somalia and one from the south, in order to cover all possible aspects of dialect. I can also provide a full service to my clients i.e. Translation and independent proofreading/editing.
