    Hi there! Effective communication is at the fore-front of all successful endeavours. Language differences can hinder business expansion, customer services and globalisation. My passion revolves around building bridges through Translation, Localisation, adaptations and proofreading. When your adaptation feels off, awkward, or just doesn’t sound like your target language, the problem isn’t the content -it’s how it’s adapted and that’s where I come in. With over 10 years of experience, I don’t just change words from one language to another. I shape them to fit the culture, tone, and emotions of your audience. Whether it’s English, Zulu, Xhosa, or Afrikaans, I make sure every sentence flows naturally, carries the right meaning, and resonates with the people it’s meant for. I also proofread to eliminate errors, adapt books so they feel native to their readers, and transcribe audio with precision. Need structured data entry or AI training with a human touch? I do that too. What sets me apart? I work fast without compromising the project's quality. I'm passionate about languages, trust my skills, experience, and deep understanding of localisation. Every project gets my full attention, ensuring the final result feels natural, polished, and truly connects with the audience. Your message deserves to be more than just translated, it should feel original in every language. I'd love to collaborate! Let’s talk. I’m ready when you are.
