Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Zahia
Hello,
My name is Zahia and I am a professional translator, proofreader, and interpreter, from English and French to Arabic and from Arabic to French.
Arabic is my mother tongue, but having grown up in a bilingual environment and living in France for five years, I have also acquired perfect fluency in adapting tone, nuances, and cultural references in French.
Furthermore, I hold a Master 2 in Editorial, Economic, and Technical Translation, obtained from ESIT – Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle.
Since the beginning of my career, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned clients such as UNESCO, Cartier, HAVAS, INWOOD Hotels, Arkopharma, and Eisenberg Paris - directly or through translation agencies - on translation and transcreation projects covering a wide range of media:
• Websites, press releases, and newsletters;
• Corporate reports and internal communications;
• Marketing content and social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.);
• Subtitling, product sheets, and editorial articles.
Specializing in transcreation and localization, I create fluid, natural texts that are perfectly anchored in the target culture, while respecting your brand's identity and tone.
On a technical level, I use Trados Studio 2022 (official license) and am also proficient in Wordfast, Phrase, Eluna, CaptionHub, Aegisub, and Subtitle Edit.
If you are looking for a translator who combines linguistic rigor, a sense of cultural nuance, and editorial creativity, I would be delighted to put my expertise to work for your projects and help them shine in Arabic and French.
Looking forward to collaborating with you!
