About me
I am a native Arabic 🇸🇦 linguist residing in Tunisia, proficient in both French 🇫🇷 and English 🇬🇧. My expertise lies in the fields of Medical 🩺 and IT 👨‍💻.
I collaborate with Language Service Providers (LSP) and direct clients to comprehend their distinct requirements and provide language services that precisely fulfill their needs.
Fakhri is a top rated translator with more than one large LSP: RWS, OHT...
I am a seasoned freelance translator with more than a decade of experience in the Medical and IT field. This experience has given me a keen understanding of client requirements and helped me acquire a strong command of medical terminology and technical jargon, enabling me to handle complex documents with precision and attention to detail.
To build a long term and sustainable relation I prioritize my clients needs with:
– Clear Communication: By establishing open and transparent communication with your clients and listening carefully to their requirements, preferences, and any specific instructions they might have.
– Quality Assurance: I implement rigorous quality control measures to catch any potential errors or inconsistencies by reviewing the work more than once, manually and using automatic spellcheckers.
– Time Management: I only accept I do well and on time, deadline respect is crucial to me as I care about my clients and my own reputation.
– Confidentiality: I ensure that I maintain strict confidentiality regarding the content I am translating. My clients appreciate my commitment to safeguarding their data.
What I do
From understanding your requirements, creating glossaries and delivering the final document, I do everything that falls in between these lines.Â

Through thorough understanding of medical terminology and attention to detail, I ensure accurate and culturally appropriate translations that uphold confidentiality and serve the medical field's unique requirements.

I blend creativity and professionalism to deliver content that meets your goals and resonates with your audience.
Skills
My Experience
2006-present
Self-employed
Freelance translator
I started working on translations as a side gig in 2006 and continued down that path until 2014. However, in 2014, I chose to fully commit to remote work as a linguist. I assist international language service providers and software companies by translating, reviewing, and proofreading their language projects with meticulous attention, providing constructive feedback, and ensuring timely delivery. Additionally, I create SEO-optimized content and write clear software documentation. I only take on projects I can excel at and meet deadlines for. I'm prompt in responding to emails and requests. I review my work three times—once with an automated spell checker and twice manually—ensuring superior outcomes and helping me catch any recurring errors that should be avoided in the future.
2013-2014
University of Economics & Management / Higher Institute of Languages in Nabeul
Temporary university teacher
At the University of Economics and Management in Nabeul, I designed and taught business and computer science English courses, managing classrooms, assignments, and test prep. At the Higher Institute of Languages, I instructed advanced reading and writing, focusing on analyzing extended texts and crafting 5-paragraph essays. I enhanced active reading strategies and honed writing skills, enabling students to create well-structured essays through editing and proofreading.
2010-2012
Bourguiba Institue of Modern Language /Â Turk Okul Training Center/ Elite Training Center
English Language Trainer
I coached adult and young learners using New Headway curricula, covering grammar, vocabulary, and improving listening and speaking with audio. I managed class aspects like attendance, assignments, and teamwork. I used a range of materials from books to a variety of audiovisual aids. I have put a strong emphasis in dialogues, formal exercises and language games to engage all students. The content of lessons is personalized for each group of students whether it's for business use for adults, school work for children or preparing for tests such as TOEIC. The aim of each lesson is to practice and improve the four basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
