Translation can strengthen your brand – or quietly damage it. Your product should sound natural, trustworthy, and professionally written in every target market – never like a translation.
Clients notice poor translation immediately. Awkward phrasing, inconsistent terminology, or an unnatural tone weaken trust and make the brand feel less credible. My role is to make sure your content reads naturally, sounds professional, and reflects the quality of your product.
📌 Services:
• Website localization
• App localization
• SaaS and FinTech localization
• Brand-safe B2B localization
• EdTech localization
• Legal and compliance translation
• Marketing translation and transcreation
• Technical marketing translation
• Video game localization
• AI-generated translation review, QA, and post-editing
Why clients choose to work with me:
✅ Your product never sounds translated – it feels natural, credible, and market-ready
✅ I understand corporate, SaaS, FinTech, and B2B communication
✅ Clear communication, reliability, and respect for deadlines
🎓 Background:
• Master’s degree in English Language and Literature
• Master's degree and PhD in Psychology, which give me a deeper understanding of audience perception, tone of voice, and the emotional impact of language
• IELTS Certificate
• 9+ years of experience
• 270+ completed projects on Upwork
🌍Trusted by Capital com, Vilgain, Scholaro, JustMarkets, Qarma, and FinnSEA Nordesk OÜ.
I am also available for Zoom call via Upwork if you would like to discuss your project in detail.
