Swahili Medical Research Paper Translation
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have several medical research papers that must be rendered accurately from English into Swahili. The vocabulary is technical—think study methodologies, pharmacological terms, statistical results—so I need someone who is both fluent in Swahili and comfortable with medical jargon.
Scope
• Source material: peer-reviewed research articles (PDF and Word).
• Typical length: 3,000–6,000 words each; the first batch totals roughly 18,000 words.
• Turnaround: an initial delivery of two fully translated papers within one week, followed by rolling milestones for the remaining documents.
What matters most
• Faithful medical terminology without guessing—use standard Kiswahili equivalents or note when an English term should remain unchanged.
• Clear, readable prose that mirrors the structure, headings, tables, and citations of the source.
• Confidential handling of all documents.
Deliverable
A clean, proofread Swahili version of each paper in the original formatting (DOCX), plus a tracked-changes file showing any clarifications.
Acceptance criteria
1. Random paragraph spot-checks read naturally to a Kenyan medical professional.
2. All figures, tables, and references preserved and correctly labeled in Swahili.
3. Fewer than three minor errors per 1,000 words on QA review.
If you have prior experience translating clinical trials, pharmacokinetics, or epidemiology studies, let me know. I’ll share a short excerpt for a paid sample before awarding the full assignment.
