Working on the Flood Green Guide Training Program for the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) Environmental and Disaster Management Program was a defining moment that allowed me to merge my linguistic discipline with my background in multimedia production. For this project, I didn't just step in as a Translator; I took on the roles of Designer and Audio Visual Producer as well.

My work translating the International Crisis Group (ICG) Reports on the Sri Lanka War and Human Rights from English into Sinhala was a deliberate effort to bridge that exact gap.

For most of my early career, my focus was on translating English academic and historical texts into Sinhala to enrich our local consciousness. Working with the International Crisis Group (ICG) reversed that dynamic. I was tasked with translating extensive research material regarding the year 2000 Bindunuwewa Massacre from Sinhala into English.

When dealing with historical texts, a translator's job shifts from being just a linguist to becoming a custodian of the archives. This was the exact responsibility I felt when undertaking the English to Sinhala translation of A.C. Depp’s Ceylon Police and Sinhala Muslim Riots of 1915 for the Department of Police.
