Introduction

Learn About My Journey in Gaming and Language.

With over 5 years of experience in English-Arabic translation, I specialize in game localization, having worked on popular titles such as Free Fire, Honor of Kings, and AFK Arena. During my time at Yeehe as a Game Localization and LQA Specialist, I refined my skills in delivering clear, engaging, and culturally relevant translations. My background in game development further enhances my ability to understand the requirements of game content, ensuring both accuracy and player engagement in all translations. Additionally, My volunteer work with Translators Without Borders has broadened my expertise by contributing to humanitarian projects and supporting critical translation needs across various sectors.
