 Contact Details

As a seasoned English-Arabic linguist and subtitler with over 18 years of proven success, I provide culturally adapted translation services from English and Italian into Arabic and English, with strict adherence to deadlines, ensuring that your message is effectively conveyed to the target audience.  I also do audio and video transcription, time coding, QA, captioning, and subtitling from English to Arabic and vice versa.

As a Certified Machine Translation Posteditor (MTPE), I transform raw machine output into accurate and culturally nuanced translations, providing a highly cost-effective solution with an exceptionally fast turnaround. 

I am also a certified Pro in English to Arabic translation and Arabic to English translation by Proz.com. Translation samples can be found in my Portfolio above. Please click here to see a list of clients you may contact to obtain a reference.

Holding dual bachelor's degrees in law and in translation from Cairo University in Egypt, as well as a professional certificate in computer systems and applications from the American University in Cairo, I specialize in translating legal, finance, and IT documents from English to Arabic and vice versa, leveraging my academic background to deliver work of the highest professional standard. Moreover, my extensive expertise in financial and IT translation enables me to effectively support a wide range of industries and clients. 

My expertise in translation lies in translating legal and financial documents for international organizations, particularly the UN, the EU, and the World Bank. I have also attended several training courses organized by the American Embassy in Cairo, the UN, and the EU. 

Furthermore, I specialize in localization solutions designed to help clients establish a strong presence in the Arab market. These services include creating top-ranking websites that consistently attract qualified customers who are ready to invest in premium offerings. 

As an Egyptian linguist with a legal background, excellent writing skills, and superb research abilities, I mainly focus on providing quality text with flair and precision, attentive to meeting the client's needs and deadlines.

As for confidentiality, I always keep my clients' information in the strictest confidence.  Any information submitted by clients will be used solely to complete the translation, deliver the service, and address any client service issues.

In my free time, I enjoy a variety of activities that help me unwind and stay energized. Playing the piano is a long-standing passion. I also appreciate practicing yoga, swimming, and walking. Moreover, I'm a keen traveler, always eager to explore new destinations and immerse myself in different cultures. Additionally, I'm an avid reader, finding consolation in a good book.
