Are you looking for someone who has proven experience in Somali and English translation? I’m that guy. I am a professional native Somali translator, subtitler/captioner, transcriber, proofreader, remote interpreter, and male voice-over artist. I have been a Somali service provider for the last 10+ years. I specialized in Somali translation, subtitling/captioning, male voice-over, on-site interpretation, video remote interpretation (VRI), and over-the-phone interpretation (OPI) through different companies and platforms like Multilingual Interpreters and Translators, Boost lingo, Language Link, and Homeland Language Service. I have also worked for UNHCR as a senior Somali interpreter in the Dadaab Refugee Complex. I am passionate about language, grammar, and style. I am a native Somali speaker and quality-oriented, experienced in the translation of Somali to English and vice versa. As a Somali translator, I am looking forward to contributing my knowledge and experience to your projects. My experience includes translating educational materials, conference notes, general/business translations, marketing experience, email/letter/written communication, medical translations, technical translations, legal translations, and travels. ----------------Testimonials------------- Here's what some of my clients said about me: ''It was a pleasure working with Mohamed Omar Hassan for a week. He was of great support in translating from English to Somali (two different dialects of Somali) for the group of woman artisans being trained. He was attentive to detail, arrived on time, and had excellent communication skills - able to not only translate but also build trust with the women we worked with. In addition, Mohamed was able to bring his own experience and knowledge as an online freelancing entrepreneur to the training as he was able to understand the material being taught and the objectives of the training. This awareness made his services at a very high level. Mohamed also translated written Somali to English and English to Somali to a good level. We were very happy to work with Mohamed and would definitely recommend him and work with him again.'' Thank you for your support! Excellent, amazing freelancer. I am highly recommending him to anyone who may be looking for a patient, kind, and responsible freelancer. Looking forward to hiring him again. Once again Mohamed Omar Hasan proved to be a very reliable professional for his translation services during a one-week training with a group of women artisans being trained in tie-dye skills. Mohamed Omar Hasan went beyond expectations, taking quality photographs of the training, and sharing updates with us. I am very interested in furthering my skills and capacities by offering my services to you or your business. Thank you for viewing my profile.

Having established a strong educational foundation, I successfully completed the four-year Kenya High School program with a solid grade of B in the National Exam. I’m trilingual in English, Somali, and Swahili, which allows me to deliver accurate and culturally sensitive translations. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Public Health at Kenyatta University, where I’m building advanced knowledge in health communication, research, and community engagement. Alongside my studies, I work part-time as a freelance translator and interpreter, providing reliable language support for clients and remote customer service projects. I have developed strong translation and communication skills, and I take pride in producing clear, natural, and context-appropriate work. I’m passionate about helping clients bridge language gaps and am eager to take on new opportunities in translation, virtual office assistance and related fields.
