English/Bengali translation, transcreation, and localization expert

In my decade-long translation and content writing career, I have mostly worked with technological, educational, and humanitarian content. Works such as article and book translation and editing, app localization, subtitle translation, etc. have led to collaborations with many brilliant organizations. Duolingo and WHO are notable among my internaional clients. As a content writer, I've created both educational and recreational content for children and young adults in both English and Bengali. Besides translating short stories, I've also gained ample experience in editing Bengali stories and novels. My technical background, paired with a wide variety of experience, provides me with a versatile collection of tools to perform effective, accessible, and natural translation. My core translation principles are: - Consistency is crucial. - Deliver messages, not word meanings. - Short is good. If snappy, even better. - All strings must flow effortlessly together. My focus is always on the reader: to ensure that the content can be understood instantly, with the least amount of effort and without any mental back-translation. I always try to give my translation as much of a native feel as the context permits, while staying true to crucial aspects such as tone, coherence, length, presentation, etc. Language has always been my passion, and I enjoy reading and sometimes teaching children to find fun in their studies. These tendencies ensure that my translation is easy to understand without nuances getting compromised. Drop a line if you think my approach and skills are something you're looking for. I'd love a chat to get an idea as to the most effective way for your project to reach its deserved global audience.
