About me
As a native Arabic linguist residing in Tunisia, proficient in French and English, I specialize in Software Localization and Life Sciences.
Some of the companies I work with:
Seasoned Arabic Language Consultant for Life Sciences
Trusted by ICON since 2018, delivering high-quality clinical research projects: translation, linguistic validation, review, formatting and cognitive debriefing.
Senior Life Sciences Linguist
Preferred partner of RWS Life Sciences since 2015, delivering language solutions: questionnaires, adaptations, translations, reviews, back translations and harmonizations.
Arabic Software Localization Specialist
As a seasoned open-source contributor, I was recruited by WP-Translations to leverage my localization expertise. To date, I’ve successfully localized over 500 WordPress projects.
Top Rated Arabic Linguist
Through Blend, I’ve demonstrated versatility by successfully handling various projects, including legal documents, video game localization, marketing campaigns and technical translations.
Fakhri is a top rated translator with more than one large LSP: WP-Translations, RWS Life Sciences, ICON plc, Blend etc
I am a freelance translator with more than a decade of experience in the IT and Life Sciences fields. This experience has given me a keen understanding of client requirements and helped me acquire a strong command of technical jargon and medical terminology, 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. Besides, I keep a tab open for each project’s requirements to carefully follow all the instructions. I write notes and comments to provide constructive feedback to the PM and improve the quality of the project.
– 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. With eye check I can spot spacing errors and minor misalignments.
– 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.
I built on my software localization skills to transition into web development.
Websites Building
I leverage industry-standard front-end and back-end technologies to develop and reliably maintain your web presence.
I provide essential infrastructure services, including streamlined website hosting and secure, professional email configuration.
End-to-end security is paramount, and I manage all necessary protocols to keep your data and site protected.
What I do
From understanding your requirements, creating glossaries and delivering the final document, I do everything that falls in between these lines. I also create bespoke websites: portfolio, catalog and ecommerce.
Life Sciences & clinical research
I assist clients in translating medical, life sciences, and clinical research documents with precision and sensitivity. My expertise in specialized terminology ensures accurate, culturally appropriate translations that maintain confidentiality. Projects include clinical trial protocols, patient consent forms, and research articles.
IT translation services
I specialize in localizing software related to content management system (CMS) with focus on WordPress. However, I have also gained experience in working on mobile apps. Notably, I served as the Arabic reviewed for VLC and contributed on other open source-projects.

My Experience
2006-present
Self-employed
Freelance Linguist/Web developer
I started working on translations as a side gig in 2006 and continued until 2014, when 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 also offer web development, hosting, website maintenance, and security services.
I only take on projects I can excel at and meet deadlines for. I’m prompt in responding to emails and requests.
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 / 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.
