Lead English–Arabic Linguist | Localization & Qa Specialist

Linkedin

I’m an English-Arabic Localization Specialist with over 5 years of experience in the fintech and crypto industries, having contributed to major projects with Binance, Crypto.com, Bybit, OKX, and Forex.com.


My expertise covers end-to-end localization, Language Quality Assurance (LQA), and terminology management, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and cultural relevance across product UI, marketing, and educational content. I’m proficient in CAT tools such as Phrase, Lokalise, Trados, and Crowdin, and experienced in QA workflows, UAT testing, and managing cross-functional collaboration between linguists, developers, and product teams.


I’m currently looking to grow into a project management or lead linguist role within the Web3 ecosystem, where I can combine my technical background, linguistic precision, and passion for crypto to help products connect seamlessly with Arabic-speaking users worldwide.
