Hello! I'm Phoebe, a 29 year old year old freelance English-Chinese-Malay translator based in Malaysia.

I am a chartered accountant (ACCA equivalent) and commenced my career with PricewaterhouseCoopers and HSBC Global Asset Management Limited. Being a freelancer/translator of many local and overseas agencies, ever since April 2007, I've translated over 4 million words of various materials in 7 years. I completed my first assignment as a translator when I was 18 years old, working for a Movie producing firm. I soon left that job to expand my horizons without knowing that two years later I would return to the translation world, from a different perspective.

I am a Malaysian so I can speak fluent Mandarin, English, Cantonese and Malay. I translate from English into Chinese (my native variant), Malay (National language in Malaysia). I've lived in Malaysia, UK and New Zealand. This makes me highly aware of cultural issues and language nuances.

I work with state-of-the-art software for human translation, usually called CAT tools (Trados, MemoQ, Transit and other tools as requested), as it allows me to conduct quality assurance steps before delivering my work.

I'm fast and accurate, and although I enjoy challenges, I only translate texts related to subjects I'm comfortable with. I provide expertise, availability, timeliness and good humor at reasonable rates.

You can see my work history over past years or contact me right away. I'm here to assist you not only with professional translation services, but with solid advice to make the most out of your time and investment.
