Mrs Huda Melsom has been a contract translator the The Translation Service for a number of years. During that time she has handled many translations of documents from Arabic to English, and some translations into Arabic. Her work for us was of a very high standard and she showed considerable skill in dealing with often poorly legible documents from different parts of the Arabic speaking world. We wish her all the best in the future.
