Sworn translation for Ethiopian official documents, commerce, and consular filings.
Amharic (አማርኛ, Amarəñña) is used in Ethiopia and by Ethiopian communities abroad. It is written in the Ge’ez script, also called Fidel (ፊደል), whose characters represent syllabic forms. Names, dates and official wording require careful transcription; records may also refer to dates in the Ethiopian calendar.
Assignments may concern the Ethiopian Investment Commission (EIC), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), trade and revenue offices, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopian and Turkish embassies, immigration procedures and courts. Files can include birth and marriage records, police certificates, company registrations, tax identifiers and university credentials. The relevant institution determines the translation and authentication format it accepts.
Professional Amharic work can cover textile and cable-manufacturing projects, machinery imports, railway and road infrastructure, energy transmission, coffee and sesame exports, development programs and commercial agreements. Technical documents are reviewed for terminology, units, names and dates, including calendar references visible in the source.
