Translation

Our services are tailored for businesses aiming to penetrate, expand or strengthen their presence in African markets. Understanding the linguistic diversity and cultural richness of Africa, we offer comprehensive translation solutions that go beyond mere language conversion. Our service ensures that your business communications, documents, marketing materials, and technical content are accurately and effectively localized for various African audiences.

IT & Tech Localization

Cultural Customization

  • Adaptation of content to align with local cultural norms and values, avoiding potential cultural sensitivities.
  • Customization of examples, case studies, and metaphors in educational and promotional materials to resonate with the local audience.
  • Adaptation for mobile-first users, as many African consumers predominantly access the internet via mobile devices.

User Interface and Experience

  • Localization of user interfaces (UI) to be intuitive and user-friendly for the African audience.
  • Testing and optimization of user experience (UX) with local focus groups to ensure relevance and effectiveness.

Website Localization

  • Our website localization service goes beyond simple translation. We understand that a website is the digital face of your business, and it’s crucial for it to speak the language of its visitors. Our team meticulously adapts your website’s content, layout, and design to align with the cultural, linguistic, and technical requirements of your target audience. This includes translation of text, adaptation of visual elements, local SEO optimization, and ensuring compliance with local regulations and cultural norms. The result is a website that not only speaks the language of its audience but also resonates with them on a cultural level.

Data Collection & Crowdsourcing

Data collection and crowdsourcing are vital for enhancing African languages technologies. By gathering diverse language data from native speakers, technology can better understand and process these languages, often underrepresented in digital spaces. Crowdsourcing, leveraging the power of the community, accelerates data gathering and ensures representation of various dialects and cultural nuances. This inclusivity not only improves language models and translation algorithms but also enhances accessibility, allowing more African language speakers to engage with technology meaningfully. This process democratizes language technology, bridging gaps in communication and information access across the continent.
