Katarzyna K.

Professional Polish-English Translator, Linguist & ESL Teacher

I’m a native Polish Language Expert and AI Linguist with 20+ years of professional experience in translation, localization, linguistic evaluation, editing, and language instruction. I hold a Master’s degree in Philology from the University of Warsaw, with a strong academic background in Applied Linguistics and Slavic languages. My work goes beyond literal translation. I specialize in determining whether Polish content is not only grammatically correct, but also natural, culturally appropriate, consistent, and written the way a native Polish speaker would actually express it. MY CORE EXPERTISE • AI & LLM Language Evaluation • AI-Generated Content Review & Refinement • English → Polish Translation & Localization • Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) • Linguistic QA & Quality Evaluation • Editing, Proofreading & Rewriting • Localization & Cultural Adaptation • Transcreation & Creative Translation • Literary Translation • Subtitling & Transcription I have professional experience evaluating machine-generated and translated content for accuracy, fluency, naturalness, context, terminology, and cultural relevance. I have also worked on time-sensitive linguistic evaluation projects where consistency, attention to detail, and reliable language judgment are essential. Alongside my linguistic work, I have many years of experience teaching Polish to international students and working with clients from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This gives me an additional perspective on how Polish is actually understood and used. I am also a published author and literary translator with bilingual publications, giving me extensive experience preserving voice, emotion, style, and meaning when literal translation simply does not work. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND ✓ 20+ years of professional language experience ✓ M.A. - University of Warsaw ✓ Native Polish & Ukrainian ✓ Fluent professional English ✓ Advanced Russian & Spanish ✓ AI/MT Linguistic Evaluation ✓ Translation, Localization, MTPE & Linguistic QA ✓ TEFL/ESL Certified ✓ Published Author & Literary Translator ✓ Experience with CAT Tools & Localization Platforms I have worked with international agencies, language-service providers, technology projects, publishers, and private clients across translation, localization, linguistic evaluation, education, and publishing. A recent client described my work: “This is the best I have seen. Let’s talk about long-term collaboration.” I am particularly interested in professional and long-term collaborations involving Polish AI language evaluation, LLM training, linguistic QA, localization, MTPE, translation, and language quality assessment. If you need someone who can recognize the difference between Polish that is technically correct and Polish that actually sounds Polish, I can help. Accurate. Natural. Culturally aware. Human.
