Shad Hasan

English to Kurdish (Sorani/Kurmanji) Localization Specialist
Hello! I am Shad, a professional English-to-Kurdish translator specializing in audiovisual localization, subtitling, and media translation.

With over three years of hands-on experience translating film, television, and media content for regional platforms, I don't just convert words—I ensure cultural nuances, humor, and pacing are accurately adapted for Kurdish audiences.

My Core Specialties:

Audiovisual Translation & Subtitling: I have localized hundreds of hours of dialogue, ensuring precise time-syncing, natural phrasing, and readability.

Cultural Localization: Expert at adapting idioms, slang, and culturally specific references so they resonate naturally in Kurdish without losing the original intent.

Medical & Pharmaceutical Translation: Currently in my third year of Pharmacy school (BPharm), I bring strong academic knowledge of medical terminology, pharmacology, and healthcare administration to specialized translation projects.

Software & Tools:

Proficient in video editing and subtitling software (VN Video Editor, Subtitle Edit).

Familiar with SRT creation and spotting (time-coding).

Organized workflow using Obsidian for terminology management and glossaries.

Why Work With Me?

Quality & Context: I prioritize the meaning and tone over rigid word-for-word translation, which is critical for media and healthcare content.

Reliability: I manage my time strictly and never miss a deadline.

Responsive: You can expect clear, prompt communication throughout the project.

Whether you need a feature film subtitled, a medical document localized, or a marketing script adapted for the Kurdish market, I deliver clean, culturally accurate, and professional results.
