Swahili-English Personal Letter Translation
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
I have several personal letters written in Swahili that I need rendered into natural, polished English without losing the warmth or nuance of the original voice. You’ll receive clean scans in PDF; I’d like the finished work returned as an editable Word file, mirroring the basic layout so it stays easy to follow.
Accuracy matters more than literal word-for-word conversion—I’m counting on you to capture idioms, informal phrasing, and cultural references so the recipient feels the same intent and emotion. No machine-generated drafts, please; I need a human touch and careful proofreading.
Turnaround is important. Once I send a letter, I’d like the English version back within two days, sooner when practical. Everything shared remains strictly confidential.
Deliverables:
• Final English translation for each letter (Microsoft Word, UTF-8 encoding)
• Brief note highlighting any phrases that required interpretation, if applicable
The job is straightforward but quality-critical, so only bid if you’re genuinely fluent in both Swahili and English and comfortable preserving tone and context.
