Afusat A.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Afusat on a translation project, and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and professionalism of their work.” “Afusat did an amazing job and she is a high quality translator.” “Great to work with, was able to translate to our satisfaction. Would recommend to anyone looking for a professional translator” “Always game to take on more work/new project and was direct in her communication about needs, findings, etc.” A good translation should not sound translated. It should sound like it was written in the language from the very beginning. I'm Afusat, a translator specializing in English, German, and Dutch, with over 8 years of translation and localization experience. I'm a native Dutch speaker with a German mother, so I work in both languages with natural fluency. My English proficiency is supported by an IELTS Academic overall band score of 8.5. I hold a BA in Linguistics from the University of Tübingen and a Master's degree from Copenhagen Business School. I also translate to and from Swedish. My approach goes beyond translating words from one language to another. I consider the message, purpose, tone, context, and intended audience behind every piece of content, so the final result feels natural and appropriate for the people who will read it. Whether I’m translating, proofreading, editing, localizing, or working on SEO-focused content, my goal is to preserve the meaning and intent of the original while making sure the finished text works naturally in the target language and for its intended market. What sets my work apart is the attention I give to details that can easily be overlooked in translation. I look at how the content is meant to be understood, who it is speaking to, and how it should sound in the target language. This allows me to make informed decisions about wording, tone, terminology, and cultural context rather than relying on literal translations. I also understand that successful projects require more than linguistic accuracy. They require clear communication, careful attention to instructions, and an understanding of the client’s preferred terminology, tone, style, and expectations. I ask the right questions when needed, avoid making assumptions, and keep these requirements in mind throughout the work. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects across technology, e-commerce, AI, and other industries, with projects for companies including Tools for Humanity, Averest Consulting GmbH, LMCHING, DCP Global, Domo Parts International B.V., and many others. I also bring an SEO perspective to relevant translation and content projects, considering search intent, keyword usage, and natural language so that content can work effectively for both its audience and its target market. For projects involving audio or video, I also provide transcription and voice-over services, allowing clients to keep related language work with one professional. Whether you need translation, proofreading or editing, localization, SEO-focused content, transcription, or voice-over, I focus on delivering work that is accurate, clear, consistent, and ready to use. If you’re looking for a reliable language professional who understands both the language and the purpose behind your content, I’d be happy to discuss your project.
