My name is Dhian, and I am a language professional with extensive experience in glocalization, translation, subtitling, content writing, and transcription. I believe that glocalization is an essential element in today's globalized world, and I am passionate about helping businesses adapt to local tastes while maintaining a global perspective.
As a bilingual researcher who has worked in one of Indonesia's reputable universities, I have the expertise to help your business expand its market in Indonesia through glocalization. I offer a one-stop glocalization service, where I will be your translator and proofreader at the same price. My services include:
Translation: I can provide general, legal, technical, and Javanese translations, ensuring that your content is accurately translated while maintaining the intended meaning and tone.
Subtitling: I can create accurate and effective subtitles for your video content, ensuring that your message is conveyed clearly to your audience.
Transcription and Transcreation: I offer meticulous and timely transcription services, as well as transcreation services that adapt your content for local audiences while retaining its global appeal.
Academic Literature Research: I have extensive experience in academic literature research, providing valuable insights and analysis that can help you stay ahead of the competition.
My previous clients include White Label Productions from the United Kingdom, The Australia Global Alumni, Social Media Group from Australia, DecisionAsia - Marketing Strategy Consultancy Asia, Unilever, and Quora International.
If you're looking for a skilled and reliable language professional who can help you navigate the complexities of glocalization and provide comprehensive language services, look no further! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or inquiries, and I look forward to working with you soon.

Disclaimer: if you're put off by my hourly rate, just ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ . If you think my profile is overrated, please know that it is totally fine for me that you choose to enlist someone else's help.
But if you think there's a story to how I set up my profile and rate, then by all means, ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐ง:
Your boss tells you to expand to the Indonesian market. Your advisors tell you to make a website to build your business and make it prosperous. You want to extend your products' reach to the Indonesian audience.
Whatever the case is, this profile that you're looking at and reading has all the qualities that you would need: I'm a professional linguist/translator/writer that sells your products and markets your vision!
Hear the experience of working with me from others first-hand:
"I would highly recommend Yoshua. Produced a market report of a much higher quality than I expected. Will definitely use again." - an export/import businessman.
"Fantastic work. Yoshua met all my expectations. He is very professional in setting up terms of contract in order to deliever work on time." - a fellow translator.
"I would like to provide my highest recommendations to the work and attention of Yoshua Sugandhi. Yoshua worked as a freelance translator for wH as of November 2014. Yoshua was then swiftly promoted to Project Manager of the entire Indonesian team in February of 2015." - an Internet giant.
"Yoshua was a pleasure to work with, and turned around a professional, high-quality translation immediately when we were working with a tight deadline! I look forward to working with him again in the future on translation projects!" - a video advertiser.
=====================================================================
I translate, I interpret, I write, and I advise. More importantly, I deliver!
A translator since 2008, I'm an official member of the Association of Indonesian Translators. When experience meets quality, you'll get yourself a man by the name of Yoshua; and yes, that's me!
English native speakers usually admit that I speak like (if not better than) them - thus the proficiency level. ;)
I have been helping various companies all around the world to establish their businesses in Indonesia: One of my most recent achievements would be raising unique visitor count for a worldwide tech company that is based in the USA - ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐,๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ/๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก ๐ข๐ง ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ! This shows how effective my leadership and localisation skills were, as I was ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐+ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ to achieve this. Imagine how much is your earning alone by having that many visitors to your website!
All this because I know how to touch people's hearts. Hit me up if you want to emotionally reach your customers and build strong relationships with them.
And why the rate?
Think: you hire experienced people, the experts of their fields, to help develop your softwares and platforms. They code, they play around with their stuff to deliver a finished product for you: they translated what you have in your mind into something real.
And yes, translated.
Let me just repeat one more time: ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ - ๐ข๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
Since you've put that much effort and money into hiring the best human-tech translators, it would make sense if you hire another expert: me, to take care of your human language A-language B translation needs. Combining those tech translators with the wrong linguist would result in disaster, and we don't want that for your business, do we? ;)
Plus, when you hire me, you'll get yourself the most efficient translator (typing at the ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ of around ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ - plus being a natural reader and writer) on Upwork. Thus, don't let my "high" rate fool you: you get what you paid for by hiring me! All work = done in the speed of light with ๐๐๐% ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฒ rate, saving you from further costs that might have had occured had you chose to go another way.
My unique specialisations: game localisation, trading, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, tech, marketing content, transcreation, Christianity, SEO, keyword research, project management, language lead, and many more!
P.S. I also advise crypto projects and can help with any crypto-related stuff that you might need assistance with.
I look forward to being in business with you! Have a great day/night!

My education background is Hotel Administration and I have been working in several companies from the resort ownership, US Embassy, Nokia Networks, and the last one is Ericsson before I decided to resign and fully concentrate to be a freelance translator. In order to have a balance life, I love doing altruism activities during my spare time, besides traveling to places both in Indonesia and abroad, going to the museum and do outdoor sports.
Translation will always be my passion and I have translated many documents, ranging from general correspondences, certificates (birth, marriage, divorce, death), contracts, guidelines, web articles, surveys, manuals/instruction, reports, training materials, books, promotional/marketing tools, and many more. Besides translating a document, I also do subtitling for various TV programs, company profile and Indonesian films; transcription; transcribing; post-editing; proofreading; notetaking for conferences/meetings/discussions; field consecutive interpreter as well as do a voice over and occasionally work as a Communication Access Real-Time Translator for people with disabilities.
My objective is working hard and working smart to give the best quality of translation to the client/end-user. And I can guarantee, that you will not be disappointed for having me as a translator in your project as I always deliver my service before the deadline.
Please drop me a message should you need to ask further questions about my competences.
Thank you.
