Working with Najat on our translation and interpretation for our programmes in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine was an outstanding experience. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for the quality of the work were evident throughout. Najat was highly responsive, flexible, and collaborative, making the entire process smooth and efficient. She always met deadlines, including responding to last-minute requests. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking reliable and expert language support.

Najat and the translation team have been an incredible support to Amna’s mission to serve the most vulnerable communities. Delivering trauma-informed activities requires not only the necessary skills and capacity, but also strong contextual knowledge and awareness. Najat and the team enabled Amna to deliver its activities through a trauma-informed lens, helping the organization pursue its objectives and engage with local communities while minimizing language barriers.

It was a pleasure working with Najat on the Arabic translation of Online Gender-Based Disinformation in MENA: Narratives, Tactics, and Impacts, a flagship report of RNW Media. From the start of the collaboration, Najat brought a level of professionalism and care that made the entire process smooth and collaborative.
Najat's command of the subject matter is evident in the way she handled the project: it was a nuanced, technically demanding report, and she navigated its terminology and framing with confidence and sensitivity. Beyond her linguistic skills, she was consistently timely in her delivery, responsive to feedback, and meticulous in flagging corrections that improved the final text.
It was extremely easy to work with her, she is very professional, accommodating, and invested in the content and subject. I would recommend Najat without hesitation for any translation work in this space, and I hope to collaborate with her again.

I met Najat at an industry event. I was struck by her energy and we started working together. I appreciate her helpfulness, ability to communicate and collaborative approach. She is someone who approaches her work with enthusiasm and I really enjoy working with her.

From day one, Najat's professionalism has made our collaboration a true peace of mind. Her flexibility and fast turnaround make every exchange easy. She is proactive and always reachable, happy to talk things through whenever questions come up. Since I handle the French and the coordination on the localization of the Kuja Resource Library Toolkits, I rely on the requester's feedback for the Arabic, and it has been consistently positive about Najat's work. She makes this project easier, even with the tight turnarounds the requester demands, and I look forward to continuing to work together.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Najat and her team on the translation of the Baytna handouts. A particularly important component of this work was contextualization. Many of the technical terms we encountered do not have straightforward equivalents in Arabic. Najat’s team used the provided glossary consistently and accurately, while also building upon it when new or complex terminology emerged. I really appreciate their commitment to finding language that preserves the meaning and integrity of the concepts, while remaining practical and usable. The chosen terms were not heavy on the ear, could be repeated naturally, and were accessible enough to be adopted not only by us during the training, but also by our partners within their organizations and the communities they serve. This level of alignment significantly eased our stress ahead of the training and despite the short timeline, Najat’s team was consistently timely and responsive. The collaboration felt open, respectful, and grounded in mutual learning.

Working with Najat brought an exceptional level of quality to our interpretation and translation work. Her detail-oriented and professional approach helped us build a dictionary for industry-specific terms that would be understood, translate 100+ documents, and provide a strong operational plan for multi-lingual meetings. She always communicated clearly, and we managed a large volume of work with no delays. Najat is first on my list to call when I need translation and interpretation services.

We are very grateful to Najat for supporting us during the testing phase of LanguageCheck and for reviewing of Arabic translations requested by our customers. Her contribution was truly valuable, not only because of her strong language skills and attention to detail, but also because of the passion and thoughtfulness she brought to the work.
Najat helped us improve the quality, clarity, and naturalness of the Arabic content, making sure it felt accurate, appropriate, and accessible for Arabic-speaking users. She was kind, reliable, collaborative, and a pleasure to work with throughout the process.
We sincerely appreciated her help and would warmly recommend her for any Arabic translation, localization, or language review project.

We have had the pleasure of working with Najat as a freelance interpretation provider for remote simultaneous interpretation, written translation, and
occasional in-person interpretation for our wide range of requests including trainings, partner calls, and workshops. Najat has consistently demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and reliability in the time we have worked with her. What stands out is how she approaches her work with great cultural sensitivity and care - traits which has been invaluable for our work across varying contexts. We have really appreciated her collaborative approach in helping us to develop a translation glossary to ensure consistency and quality across our external-facing work.

Working with Najat has been a consistently positive and highly professional experience. Recently, during the Systems of Care training for Ukraine partners in Warsaw, Najat played a key coordination role in ensuring that interpretation and translation support was well-structured, responsive, and aligned with the needs of a multilingual group working in a highly sensitive context. She demonstrated strong organisational skills, clear communication with facilitators and interpreters, and an ability to anticipate and respond to emerging needs during live sessions. Beyond this specific training, our day-to-day collaboration has been marked by flexibility, resourcefulness when faced with challenges, reliability, clarity, and care. Najat brings a strong understanding of Amna's trauma and identity-informed approach, ensures interpreters are well briefed and supported, and consistently contributes to smooth delivery across programmes. She is a trusted collaborator whose coordination strengthens both the technical quality and relational safety of our work.
