Official English - Albanian Translator | MTPE | CSR & Compliance Exp
Tirana, Albania
$35/hr$35 per hour5.0 (128) 148 jobs $10K+ total earnings
Certified English–Albanian translator, officially accredited by the Albanian Ministry of Justice —with a background that sets me apart from most language professionals: over a decade of hands-on experience conducting and supporting social compliance audits across Albania and Kosovo against international standards including SA8000, BSCI, and SMETA — working alongside global bodies such as Intertek and DNV. That field experience means I don't just translate words, I translate meaning, context, and intent, especially in the domains where precision matters most.
Services I provide:
- English Albanian Translation:
Accurate, natural-sounding translations across a broad range of domains — legal, corporate, technical, and more. Every project is researched and handled with professional rigour.
- Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE):
Full and light-touch MTPE to bring AI generated translations up to professional standard. I correct errors in fluency, terminology, and cultural register — fast and cost-effectively.
- CSR & Compliance Documents:
Audit reports, codes of conduct, supplier, questionnaires, sustainability disclosures, and policy documents — translated with full understanding of the underlying frameworks and terminology.
Most translators look up CSR terminology. I've lived it — conducting audits on the ground, interpreting for international audit teams, and documenting findings against SA8000, BSCI, and SMETA. When your document references a CAPAR, a non-conformance, or a corrective action plan, I know exactly what it means — in both languages.
What I Bring to Every Project:
- Subject-matter depth in CSR, labour rights & supply chain
- Familiarity with international audit standards & reporting language
- Strong command of formal and technical register in both languages
- Professional MTPE — not just, MT clean-up, but genuine quality improvement
- Reliable turnaround with clear communication throughout
WHY WORK WITH ME:
Most translators working in this space research CSR terminology. I've spent years applying it — on the ground, in audits, and in formal documentation. That practical fluency shows in every translation I deliver.
