Bio

Sir/ Madam

Welcome to my page!

I am a native Bengali professional translator, working in the field for over 15 years. I am based in Bangladesh with lots of global references. I am certified by Proz.com, a leading translation portal, for translation in English to Bengali pair.

I provide English to Bengali and Bengali to English translation, editing, checking, proofreading, localization, globalization, transcription, interpretation, voice recording, subtitling and other related services.

I have been an enlisted translator with CARE-Bangladesh, a renowned US-based NGO, for over a decade. I have worked as a regular translator of the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC), Dhaka for six years. I have also worked for two years as a subeditor of The Daily Star, the largest English daily of my country. I have a lot of experiences of working with many other national and international organizations and with some of the prestigious national English and Bengali dailies and weeklies of Bangladesh.

Overseas work

Besides, I work with leading translation agencies based in the USA, UK and also countries of the world, and the references may be available upon request.

No project is too big, no job is too small Always on time, with utmost quality

NINE QUALITY POINTS FOR VALUED CLIENTS

# Accurate, but not literal translation

# Translation, not explanation

# Correct spelling

# Correct formatting

# Terminology consistency

# Subject- and audience-specific translation

# Gender- and community-sensitive language

# Timely delivery

# Competitive price

I am a Proz.com Certified Bengali Translator

Translation projects I have translated hundreds of large and important documents from English to Bangla (Bengali) and also Bangla to English. For short list of my translation works, please see the project history above or kindly email me for a detailed list.

Small projects

In addition to large projects, I also translate trade/business licenses, marriage certificates, educational certificates, mark sheets, contracts, brochures, flyers, medical prescription, survey questionnaires, personal letters, etc.

Post- and pre-translation service

Post- and pre-translation service is enormously important for an outsourcer or an individual client because the end-client might come up with corrections and additions in the source text after the translation is done. And in this case, if the translator does not cooperate, the outsourcer runs the risk of losing a valuable client. If you take my service, I will always be with you until you are totally satisfied with the work. Although I offer post translation service to all of my clients, I offer pre-translation service only to my regular clients helping them by reviewing the source text or the translated text in case of editing so that the clients can determine the cost.

Rate

The rate for translation service depends on the nature, complexity, volume and urgency of the work. So it is always negotiable. However, if you are looking for the 'cheapest' translator in my pair(s), I am afraid I am NOT the right person for your project.
