The texts I produce are always flawless, and I approach each project from a fresh perspective that allows me to fully tune in to its requirements, whatever those may be. I work into both English (UK and US) and Swahili and can translate your texts in both directions, transcribe audio files, edit your texts to make them error-free and improve the flow and the overall quality of the writing and produce original and engaging copy that drives up your sales. To give you an idea of what I do, here are some of my recent projects: Areas covered in transcription: General business meetings Academic interviews Legal proceedings Medical research Zoom meetings and conferences Focus group interviews Typing handwritten legal documents and journals (EN) Translation - SWA to ENG transcription of market research studies in the medical field - ES-ITA translation of market research interviews - translation and proofreading of the web catalogue (EN-SWA) - translation of medical websites (EN-SWA) - translation and proofreading of social media texts and website (EN-SWA) - translation of a company's Articles of Association (IT-EN) - translation of a company's end of year accounts (SWA-EN) - translation of a series of trust documents (EN-SWA) Editing, proofreading and copywriting - editing a set of academic papers in the field of international journalism (EN) -copywriting emails following companies templates Samples of my work are available on request.

    "Excellent work from Washingtone. It's a pleasure working with a professional like him. We look forward to the next project together." "Always great to work with Washingtone. Professional, timely, and easy to communicate with." These are clients' feedback. With my eight years of experience, I turn videos and audio into print-ready texts. These could be from podcasts, training videos, meetings, focus group discussions, lectures, webinars, and audiobooks, among others. For clients that need subtitles, I'll be at your service. You will get your subtitles in SRT, WebVTT, SCC, XML, and STL among others. I have more than five years of experience working as a transcriber with several companies and I have transcribed more than 1,000 hours. My focus is on transcribing and translating different English-English, English-Swahili English-Luo, and vice versa. My strengths include excellent communication skills, commitment, and competence in offering quality services. My proficiency, manifested by the high-quality work I deliver to my clients just shows how I value perfection. The majority of my customers have been with me long-term as my aim is to foster business relationships. One of the ways to do this is by providing high-quality work and delivering it to my clients on time in the formats that they need. Why do you need Captions/Subtitles for your videos? This helps your videos get a longer viewing time and therefore pass on the message it intended to pass engagements. Captions also help your videos perform better on search engines. Most media consumers also like to watch videos with the sound turned off. This will therefore make them watch the entire video without just watching the beginning and skipping through. I write content specifically tailored to the requirements of my clients and take a genuine interest in all the projects. I aim to deliver quality work across all genres. I look forward to discussing your writing transcription/subtitling requirements and how I could be of help to your business.

    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. If you'd like to have someone who's highly experienced, detail as well as accuracy oriented in the above-named areas, then you're looking at the right profile. Below is my experience:- 1. DATA ENTRY CLERK & DATA ENTRY QUALITY CHECK- DESK JOB EXPERIENCE Due to the misuse of cellphones, ALL mobile telecommunication companies in the country were required by law to transfer ALL customers'(subscribers) data into the system. During this huge country-wide project, I worked from the start to the end with one of the largest telecommunication companies with millions of subscribers. I first worked as a Data Entry Clerk for 2 years, and later as a Quality Check for 1 year to check the accuracy of the entered data by other Data Entry Clerks. INTERNET RESEARCH, DATA ENTRY, DATA CLEANSING- UpWork I've 7+ years of freelancing experience in Internet Research, Data Processing and Formatting as well as Data Entry. During my freelancing career, I've worked on various Internet Research & Data Entry Projects, and one of the most notable projects is Data Cleansing Project which lasted for almost 8 months. The above-named project entailed researching online thousands (more than 10K) of Products, Products Prices, rewriting Products Description, Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), and ISBNs,. As a result of my best achievement, I was then promoted to a Team Leader. QUALIFICATIONS OUTLINE  Education: BSc. BSc.

    It's trully an honor that you would take time to consider enlisting my skills into your project. I intend not to waste even an iota of that time with unnecessary wording. I'll get to the bottom line of what I'm about and give you room, as wide as this platform allows, for you to go through a selection of my most treasured works. I hope this will be handy in helping you come to a decision quickly. To begin with, I am not just a Videographer. As a respectable a field as this is, I do much more than just shooting, editing, and submitting video contents. I have an incisive well informed mind that (with the help of the camera) can uncover stories and insights which can help guide researchers, innovators, and organizations in their quest to burst problems. This I have been doing for the Michigan based energy company, Our Next Energy, in their customer researches in African markets. I have traveled, both solo and with one of their teams to different parts of the continent for research projects. One of key insights I uncovered helped the team get approval from the topmost leadership for an immediate access to the resources they needed for prototyping. I am also a very creative, imaginative, and entertaining character with a unique voice that has had intense work gone into it. I also have natural, captivating, autodidact on-camera skills. These when coupled with the fact that I have my own equipment for filming and recording verges on the miraculous: I am literally your one man army capable of single-handedly bringing your project to life. Just like I have been doing for a German travel agent, Bexte Touristik. I have traveled to some of the most mesmerizing of travel destinations to create eye catching contents for their marketing team. These contents have helped the company win new clients and start new tours. I work in subcontract basis in both of these companies which means I have room for more exciting projects - both long term and short term. My skills are industry certified. You will find my upwork 'skill certification' as you scroll down my profile. I received the certification after a panel of industry specialists invited me for a keen review of my work. You don't have to believe their judgement though. My portifolio is yours for your personalised evaluation. Should you wish to open a discussion with me please reach out. I'll be swift in my response. Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best.

    Hello! I am native speaker of both Swahili and English. My passion, from a very young age, has always been fictional writing. Given my wild imagination (as my mother endlessly points out), I have windows to many worlds; most of which have not been ventured into. A simple word can spiral me into a complex thought where I plan out every detail of some fantasy world/scenario. Some years ago, my friends urged me to start a wordpress blog and share my creativity with the world... and so I did. Ever since then, it's been a wild rollercoaster of jumping in between worlds, ghostwriting novels and short pieces, writing outlines and even publishing a novel of my own on Amazon! Let me re-introduce myself. Hello, I'm Purity; your unique ghostwriter.

How to Hire Top Swahili Translators

How to hire Swahili translators

Swahili is the national language of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is also spoken across eastern and southern Africa, including Rwanda, Burundi, and Mozambique. If you’re looking for a professional who can help you localize your business for Swahili speaking communities, a Swahili translator can help. 

So how do you hire Swahili translators? What follows are some tips for finding top Swahili translators on Upwork. 

How to shortlist Swahili translation contractors

As you’re browsing available Swahili translation professionals, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the independent contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a translator who can not only translate Swahili but also understands how to translate industry-specific lingo between languages.
  • Communication. A translator needs strong written and verbal communication skills to ensure your message remains intact post-translation. 
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular Swahili translator.

How to write an effective Swahili translation job post

With a clear picture of your ideal Swahili translator in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would with employment, aim to provide enough detail for an independent professional to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective Swahili translation job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From Swahili-to-English audio transcription to localizing your website for Swahili communities, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer specific experience performing certain translation services, such as translating creative works (e.g. poems, stories, etc.), mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Ready to bridge the communication gap between your business and Swahili speaking communities? Log in and post your Swahili translation job on Upwork today.

SWAHILI TRANSLATION SPECIALISTS FAQ

What is Swahili?

Swahili is a Bantu language, the first spoken language of the Swahili people, and a lingua franca of the African Great Lakes Region and the Swahili Coast. Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in a Swahili translation contractor:

  • Swahili translation to English and/or English to Swahili translation
  • CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools such as Trados or MultiTrans
  • Audio transcription (e.g. subtitles) 
  • Writing and grammar (English and Swahili)
  • Specialist, technical, commercial, or industrial knowledge
  • Strong understanding of how style, tone, and other cultural elements should be transferred between English and Swahili

Why hire Swahili translators?

The trick to finding top Swahili translators is to identify your needs. Is your goal to translate technical documents (e.g. code documentation) from English to Swahili? Or do you need a real-time Swahili-to-English interpreter to cover a teleconference or event?

The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a Swahili translator?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced Swahili translator may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their Swahili translation services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
