“Right now, Selviya is the main freelance translator of National Geographic Traveler Magazine – Indonesia. She has also translated several features on Paul Salopek’s journey (Out of Eden) for National Geographic Indonesia’s website. As you may know, National Geographic Traveler – Indonesia takes great pride in its international reputation and top-notch content quality. Therefore, our translators are bound to meet the standard, and Selviya exceeds our expectation most of the times! In translating our articles, she always chooses the words (diction) and the idioms creatively and wisely. Her language sensitivity is remarkable and she never fails to convey the mood and the tone of the original writer when she translates into Indonesian language. In addition, Selviya is respectful of deadlines. She fully understands that National Geographic Magazine Indonesia is a media company with strict deadlines and time management. She has a pleasant personality as well."

“I have gladly used Selviya’s language expertise to translate a photography essay on funeral ceremony in Toraja (collaborating with a photographer). Her translation was so good that I recommended her services to the procurement section of Indonesia-Australia Forest Carbon Partnership. She is also capable of communicating the message and information accurately to our readers. Her diction is exceptionally rich and the transition from one sentence to another flow smoothly and is pleasing to read. When we were working together, Selviya was communicative and provided us with valuable insights. She never had a problem with the deadline because she always delivered on time. On the top of that, Selviya is an excellent English-Indonesian linguist and has been a pleasure to work with. She is always my first choice should I need translation services from English to Indonesian language or vice versa.”
