Senior Swahili Linguist and Freelance Translator

I am a native Swahili linguist and freelance translator with more than three years of experience translating and localizing English-to-Swahili content.

I specialize in life sciences, medical, legal, business, and marketing translations for NGO clients. My work includes patient materials, medical reports, health education resources, and culturally adapted marketing content.

I use CAT tools and terminology-management practices to maintain linguistic consistency, quality, and efficiency across projects. I am experienced with MemoQ, SDL Trados, Wordfast, and Smartling.

I deliver careful proofreading and quality assurance aligned with client style guides, with a strong focus on accuracy, cultural relevance, and attention to detail.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and Art from the University of Dar es Salaam, with academic focus areas including applied linguistics, semantics, translation studies, and cultural studies.

I am seeking opportunities to provide accurate, high-impact multilingual solutions as a senior Swahili linguist and localization professional.
