About Me

Hiya there, I’m Seif

An experienced English-Arabic localization specialist with over 4 years of professional translation experience.

I’m:

Detail oriented to a fault.
Passionate about creating immersive experiences.
Above all, always committed to excellence.

Throughout my career, I’ve seen it all. From AAA juggernauts to Indie darlings, I’ve been through all parts of the process, making me very comfortable working on pretty much anything.

I don’t just freelance, though. I am the acting Director @ loclait & Co-Founder @ Eternal Dream Arabization, two boutiques specializing in Arabic game localization.

As a result of wearing many hats and juggling multiple roles constantly, I have a bird’s eye view of the full-stack Arabic localization process - which led me to develop a knack for identifying and resolving the complexities of the craft.

My unique set of skills continues to bolster the quality of my work, my efficiency and my problem solving abilitiles, regardless of the roles I step into.

Available for freelance/remote work.
Please don’t reach out regarding on-site/full-time roles. I’m not interested at the moment.
