Sworn translation for East African (Kenya, Tanzania) trade and official institutions.
Swahili (Kiswahili) is widely used across East Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, and serves as an important language for regional communication and commerce. Documents may reflect national administrative terminology and local institutional formats. We confirm the target country, recipient and requested language direction before work begins.
Assignments may involve company registration with Tanzania’s BRELA or Kenya’s BRS, tax and civil records, university credentials, immigration applications, court files and consular documents. Birth and marriage records, powers of attorney and company filings require careful checking of names, registry references, seals and dates. Each recipient determines which translation and authentication format it accepts.
Professional Swahili work can cover SGR rail tenders, engineering specifications, FIDIC construction contracts, port and freight documents, energy projects, coffee, tea and spice exports, commercial agreements and development programs. Technical terminology, measurements and contract terms are checked consistently across related files.
