Personal Profile
I have studied from kindergarten throughout high school at two exclusive private French
missionary schools, where I was taught Arabic, French and English for 18 hours a week
and translation/Arabization/summarization twice a week, with access to extensive school
and home libraries.
I am widely traveled and have mostly worked and lived overseas, always assuming jobs
using foreign languages. Thanks to this favourable background, I became a fully fledged
English, French and Arabic translator; specializing in translation, Arabization, and
editing with a professional native-like command of English.
Throughout my 38 years of residence in the UAE, including two years (1968/69) before
the Union; and besides my full time jobs at the foreign news/business desks including
over three years as the acting business editor at “Al Khaleej” Arabic daily, and trilingual
translator/editor at Messrs. “Motivate Publishing”, translating the two in-flight
magazines of Emirates airline, business magazines, books about the profiles of the UAE’s
and GCC leaders, history, heritage, business, tourism, environment, and other books,
guides, catalogues and brochures; I have worked as a freelance translator and editor for
leading advertising and public relations firms.
Those disciplines included business, finance, banking, media, journalism, advertising,
public relations, tourism, hospitality, catering, ICT, cosmetics, fashion, pharmaceuticals,
oil & Gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, automobiles, aerospace industries, manufacturing,
construction, technology, environment, healthcare, culture, history, heritage, profiles,
books, memoirs, annual corporate books/Financial results, catalogues, websites, etc …
Thanks to this extensive experience and sideline practice, I have indirectly serviced
some of the most prominent multinational, regional and local firms, banks and
government departments through their local advertising and public relations partners,
acquired a substantial professional linguistic experience in a large number of disciplines
and introduced new terms to the Arabic language.
Being one of a rare breed of master GCC resident trilingual translators and editors mainly
focusing on business and finance, with a top notch professional track record of standards,
ethics, punctuality, experience and high quality services, I sincerely believe that I will be
a great asset to your company.
And since putting my potential to the test is the only true way to appreciate it, I am
hereby offering you a free trial, same day delivery, 750 words Arabization/translation
package of your choice, true to my motto “Facta Non Varba”, meaning facts Not Words.
