Translator and linguist
At Meem Translation, I play various roles as a translator and linguist, managing tasks ranging from proofreading, editing, and translation to designing workshops. Additionally, I provide language and speech training for effective communication.
Arabic linguist and consultant
I worked closely with author H. Noah, contributing as a translator and serving as a consultant on Arabic linguistics and cultural nuances for their captivating novel, Bloodred Moon.
Subtitler
I bring TED Talks to life in Arabic with a faithful translation that preserves the essence of the original discourse, all while navigating the inherent time constraints of subtitles. Alongside this, I honed my skills in subtitling by crafting engaging captions for various videos and movie clips during my studies, during both my BA and MA.
Skilled Translator
With a mastery of both English and Arabic, I possess a keen awareness of potential cultural gaps and nuances within texts, along with an adeptness at deciphering underlying tones. My skill set extends to seamlessly bridging these gaps by employing effective translation strategies and methods, ensuring a nuanced and authentic rendition.
Translator of Neil Gaiman's journal
Serving as the translator for Neil Gaiman's journal was an enriching experience that expanded both my technical and linguistic expertise. I gained a wealth of technical and film-related terminology, simultaneously enhancing my proficiency in crafting compelling blogs on WordPress.
Literary Translator
As an avid reader, I channel my passion into translating excerpts from beloved books, meticulously preserving the source text's tone and cultural essence to evoke a similar impact on the target reader. Furthermore, my dedication extends to reviewing and critiquing books during leisure time, honing my attention to detail and fostering a profound appreciation for literature.
