A language consultant & linguist

As a native Arabic linguist residing in Tunisia, proficient in French and English, I specialize in Software Localization and Life Sciences.

A tester & implementer

I leveraged my software localization expertise and passion for linguistics to transition into the tech industry, where I work as a WordPress core tester, website implementer, and customizer—while continuing to pursue software localization specialization.


I volunteer with open-source projects, primarily WordPress, as a localization specialist and core tester. To advance toward becoming a core contributor and component maintainer, I’m actively studying the WordPress codebase, PHP, JavaScript, and related technologies.

What I do

I specialize in localizing software (l10n) related to content management system (CMS) with focus on WordPress. However, I have also gained experience in working on mobile apps. Notably, I served as the Arabic reviewed for VLC and contributed on other open source-projects. Additionally, I can write content in Arabic, French, and English.
I provide expert translation, review and language validation services for medical, life sciences, and clinical research documentation. My specialization ensures meticulous handling of complex terminology to deliver accurate, culturally nuanced, and confidential translations. I have extensive experience with clinical trial protocols, informed consent forms, academic manuscripts, and questionnaires.
I provide fast, secure, and reliable website hosting and maintenance services. Your websites and emails are protected with advanced security features and regular updates. I work with a support team which is always ready to assist you with any issues. I ensure your online presence is up and running smoothly at all times. You can trust me to keep your digital assets safe and efficient.
