Bio

Hello! I am Suhita, a 50-year-old mother of two young sons (aged 16 and 10) and a freelance translation service provider in English<>Bengali language pair. I live in Kolkata, one of the big metropolia in the eastern part of India in the state of West Bengal. I am a native Bengali speaker and proud to behold the rich and exotic culture which this language has imbibed for over a thousand of year and the language in which the enigmatic Rabindranath Tagore had written throughout his life.

Previously I have worked as a development professional with the Non-government organizations and worked mainly among the underprivileged community & children of Kolkata with an objective to ensure their rights. I have decided to quit that job and moved into the world of professional translation as a home-based freelance service provider.

Language is something that I have loved since childhood and that passion became stronger as I grew older. Initially, it was my mother tongue Bengali into which I read voraciously and slowly I got into reading English literary works as well. My academic degree in Sociology together with my experience of more than 20 years in the field of social development has provided me with the necessary insights about the specificity of a localized culture and the colloquialism associated with it. This understanding, together with my ability to write in easy, fluent and natural language has given me the confidence in succeeding in the field of professional translation.

  • Since 2017 I am working as a full-time freelance translator, providing my translation service to a number of agencies in the English<>Bengali language pair. A few of these agencies/organizations include Lionbridge Inc.; Appen Global; Webduniya; Word Publishing; Braahamam etc. Apart from these, I am also registered with Translated; Translit; Translation Backoffice; Lyrics Lab; Acclaro etc.
  • I have translated contents ranging from IT, Web & mobile UI for Apps, Neural machine translation (NMT) to content on Social awareness as well as semi-legal content like Bank loan agreement and End-user agreement.
    I have also translated subtitles for Discovery Asia documentaries.
  • I am proficient in using CAT tools like Google Translator Toolkit, Polyglot, XTM, Memsource, Microsoft LEAF, Smartcat etc.

My specialized subject areas are Social Science, Social awareness & related topic, Travel & Tourism, IT, UI, Semi-legal contents and any other general topic. Apart from these, I can also do subtitle translation of any kind of audio-visual media in my language pair. 

As a professional, I am ready to take any proficiency test required to qualify for a particular project and could be easily communicated over mobile, skype, Whatsapp and Email. If you feel my experience as a translator is worthy enough for you to consider then please refer to my CV here in Proz.com.
