Why work with me?
I’ve never missed a deadline while still maintaining high quality standards at affordable rates.
I strive to produce culturally sensitive translations without compromising the essence of the message author is trying to convey.
I avoid word-for-word translation which makes the content sound unnatural. I aim to make my translation easy to read by the target audience.ersity of Tirana, Faculty of Social Sciences.

Work Terms

Generally I will answer to any requests from 9:00-21:00, Monday through Saturday. Occasionally I may be available for short notice translations but that would depend a lot from my workload at the time of the request. Please send a preview of the file to be translated, format, wordcount and desired delivery format beforehand.
