“Bridging Cultures with Clarity — Accurate, Culturally-Sensitive English to Amharic Translations You Can Trust.”
**About Me—Bridging Languages, Connecting Worlds**
Hello! I'm Libelo Etay , a passionate and detail-oriented **English-to-Amharic translator** with over [X] years of experience helping individuals, businesses, and organizations communicate effectively across cultures.
I was born and raised in Ethiopia, where **Amharic is not just a language — it's a rich expression of identity, tradition, and heritage**. My early fascination with language began in school, where I often found myself helping classmates translate English texts for better understanding. That passion grew stronger when I started working on academic and community translation projects — and I realized how powerful the right words can be.
Over the years, I’ve translated everything from **legal contracts and educational materials to website content and personal letters**. I focus not just on accuracy but on ensuring that the **meaning, tone, and cultural nuances** are fully preserved. To me, translation is not just about changing words — it’s about building understanding.
My values? **Precision, professionalism, and empathy.** Every document I translate matters deeply to someone — and I treat it with that level of respect and attention.
When I’m not working with words, I enjoy reading historical novels, hiking in nature, and cooking traditional Ethiopian dishes with my family.
Let’s connect —I’d love to help you make your message heard in Amharic, just as clearly and confidently as in English.
