Dear employers,

this is Sifa.

A FULL-TIME FREELANCE TRANSLATOR

I started receiving translation projects for academic papers ​in the last two years of university. Then, after graduating I ​began my journey as a freelance translator. I translated ​documents mostly from INA to ENG under the name of ​Excellator, a translation-providing service platform I built. ​There, I collaborated with many stakeholders in various fields ​from academic, and business to the governmental sector.

Projects

company report

I worked with KSB Indonesia, a pipe and valve producing ​company, to translate their report on checking the fire pumps in ​mining areas of the gold mining company, Freeport. The most ​challenging part of this project was to research technical terms ​and the equipment positioning to deliver the ideas as ​accurately as possible in the target language.

survey result

Working with my academic ​advisor, a lecturer & translator, I ​translated a survey result report ​from INA to ENG. The survey ​targeted communities living in ​one of the big cities in Indonesia ​regarding a specific project ​related to disaster resistance. In ​this project, I found that delivering ​the message of the respondents ​as accurately as possible while ​maintaining a conversational tone ​in the written form was one of the ​most noticeable challenges. Also, ​ensuring that we consistently used ​the set terms for the whole ​translation was just as vital.

I translated an abstract of a thesis in the ​field of public health. Researching the ​medical terms was the most challenging ​part in this type of translation for me.

academic paper

I translated an academic paper in the field of ​economics that is focused on entrepreneurial ​education in high schools in Surakarta. Besides ​the economics terms research, the academic ​delivery was also a challenge in translating this ​type of document.

workshop ​transcript

Working with researchers conducting a workshop for their ​further data-collecting process, I translated the transcript. In ​the translation process, we tried to maintain the consistency ​of the terms used for the whole document. Also, I completed t​he missing points in the transcription by listening to the​ recording and/or adjusting it with the​ context.
