ENGLISH-SWAHILI-ENGLISH TRANSLATION and TRANSCRIPTION, PROOFREADING, AND SWAHILI VOICE OVERS. Generally, I'm a native Swahili speaker, and Swahili is my mother tongue language, having also learned standard Swahili for 4 years. On top of that, I'm an unpublished author and creative writer with a great command of English as well. First, I'm sincerely telling my Prospective Clients to avoid any kind of machine translation, including Google translate when it involves Swahili-English languages combination, especially, for sentence translation... e.g. translation of books, websites, apps, or any documents whose translation needs translation of groups of words and not individual words. As a Tanzanian native Swahili speaker, with Swahili being my mother tongue language; I guarantee you a 100% manual translation with the final work being free from grammatical incorrectness. If the Client would like language localization, I'll be glad to do so. Apart from being a native Swahili speaker, I have also studied Swahili for 4 years. On top of that, I'm an unpublished author and writing is a part of my everyday life. That being said, I guarantee well-structured and grammatically flawless sentences; something that can be very tricky for an average translator with no experience in authorship. To make your project great, you may opt to stick to standard Swahili which some of the words may not be understood by the majority of Swahili speakers, or you may opt to sparingly use commonly used words (especially for unofficial documents) even if they're not standard Swahili words. MY EXPERIENCE:- I have completed several English-Swahili-English translations and transcription projects. Some of these projects are technical, marketing, some sort of medical, and legal, as well as websites and app translation. If it's website or Apps Translation, SEO is also taken into consideration when needed to do so. INTERNET RESEARCH, DATA ENTRY, DATA ENTRY QUALITY CHECK, DATA PROCESSING.
