Bio

I am a native Turkish speaker working as a freelance translator for about 3 years. I am a full-time freelancer.

Before, I have translated several TV series from English to Turkish and vice versa. Moreover, I can use subtitle editing programs.

Because I am an engineer, I have translated technical texts, applications, user manuals, and academic texts and I have several published scientific papers written in English. 

These days I am interested in translation for the marketing industry. I already translated several different websites and advertisements. At the same time, I am taking some online courses about e-marketing, to be familiar with the terminology. 

I can use CAT tools but I never use Google translate. I am not only translating but also localizing by considering Turkish culture.

I am a real hard worker and very passionate about translating and languages.
