Bio

English - Somali Translation, MTPE & Quality Assurance

I am a native Somali linguist with over 15 years of professional translation experience and 5+ years in Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE). Having successfully delivered more than 2 million words for international translation agencies and direct clients, I help organizations bridge the language gap with absolute accuracy, cultural precision, and strict deadline adherence.

Core Areas of Expertise

  • Legal & Government: Contracts, official documentation, policies, and compliance.

  • Healthcare & Life Sciences: Patient materials, public health campaigns, and medical terminology.

  • Education: Training manuals, student and parent handbooks, and educational localized content.

  • Business: Corporate communications, marketing content, HR content, and more.

Modern Workflow & Tech Stack

To ensure maximum consistency, cost-efficiency, and seamless integration into your localization pipeline, I am fully proficient in leading cloud and desktop environments:

  • CAT & Cloud TMS: Phrase (Memsource), MemoQ, Trados Studio, Smartcat, XTM, and Wordbee.

  • Quality Assurance: Expertise in strict QA workflows, Termbase management, and TransCheck.

Why Partner With Me?

  • Scalability & Scale: Track record of managing high-volume projects without compromising linguistic nuances.

  • Linguistic Excellence: Natural, fluent Somali phrasing that sounds authentic to local audiences while mirroring the source text's exact intent.

  • Reliability: Clear communication, prompt updates, and a 100% on-time delivery record.

If you are looking for a dependable Somali language professional to elevate your next project or join your preferred linguist roster, let's connect.
