I am a native Swahili linguist and freelance translator, proofreader, and reviewer based in Manono, Democratic Republic of the Congo. I specialize in accurate English-to-Swahili and French-to-Swahili translation for international clients, language service providers, and technology vendors.
I bring extensive experience in translation, editing, proofreading, linguistic review, and localization. My work focuses on delivering linguistically accurate, culturally appropriate, and contextually natural Swahili content for East African and DRC audiences.
I have translated legal, technical, commercial, educational, healthcare, marketing, administrative, public information, and user-guide content. I consistently maintain terminology accuracy, grammar quality, style-guide compliance, and brand voice.
I am proficient in CAT tools including Smartcat, SDL Trados, memoQ, and Memsource (Phrase). I also perform linguistic quality assurance checks, terminology verification, translation memory development, glossary management, and error analysis.
I work reliably in remote, deadline-driven environments and communicate effectively with project managers and international agencies. I am immediately available for freelance translation, proofreading, localization, and linguistic QA projects.
