I am native Amharic speaker and professional Amharic translator working for over 8 years in various translation companies. Previously I worked in Odesk, Elance and Freelancer and then I updated my skills and applied to different translation companies. Then, I've been working as a freelance translator in Transperfect, Aussie Translations, Docbase, Translated, Straker Translations and PoliLingua Translators. I have also been working in Post Editing Machine Translations and Proofreading tasks.

My priority in translating any documents is quality and simplicity. I want the client and the end user to understand what the source language exactly wants to say with appropriate and proper Amharic grammar.

Besides Amharic, I also work as a translator in Tigrinya and Oromo languages speaking here in Ethiopia.
