At IPT Translations, we provide Swahili translation services to help you expand your business, communicate effectively with your customers, or handle official Swahili documentation. We offer both from Swahili and to Swahili translations to suit your needs.
We have translators whose native language is Swahili and who are able to translate business, legal, or technical documents to perfection. In a translation, it is as important to know the words and expressions as the cultural context that surrounds them. At IPT Translations, we take everything into account to provide accurate document translation.
Characteristics of Swahili
Swahili is currently the most widely spoken language on the African continent with over 200 million speakers, making it one of the top ten most spoken languages in the world. Swahili originated on the East African coast, from Somalia to Mozambique, passing through Kenya and Tanzania and, further inland, to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
As a coastal language, it is heavily influenced by the languages of trading countries such as Portuguese, English, and Arabic. Forty percent of Swahili vocabulary comes directly from Arabic. Thanks to trade, the language was able to expand and survive, going from being a dialect to an established language.
Another key to its growth is the ease with which it can be understood and read. Unlike other African languages, Swahili is considered the easiest African language for English and Romance language speakers to learn. It does not have a tonal system like English or Spanish, and words are pronounced as they are written.
Swahili is a language on the rise, increasingly present and necessary for business and official documents. It is currently the official language of the African Union (AU) and the East African Community (EAC), and it is spoken in 14 African countries.

Which documents are most translated into Swahili?
Swahili is a language that is gradually gaining strength in the interior of Africa, replacing the use of languages from European colonial countries such as French or English. For this reason, Swahili translation services for official or even commercial documents will become increasingly necessary.
In addition, at IPT Translations, we also offer the translation of legal or technical documents that can help our clients to be able to understand more specialized expressions or texts.

How do Swahili translation services work?
This is how the document translation process works:
- A quote request is submitted using an online request form. In addition, the file, timing, and the language you want it to be translated into are included.
- Once the quote is accepted, we will assign the document to the corresponding professional, usually a native Swahili translator, who will start working on the translation.
- When finished, the project manager will review the entire document to check that the text has been translated correctly.
- The translated document will be delivered, via email, within the agreed-upon and stipulated deadline.
- There will be time for the client to review the translation, make comments, or even ask for corrections if they see fit.
During the translation process, open and fluid communication is necessary to maximize time and obtain the best result. Therefore, we recommend our clients to be attentive to their email in order to quickly resolve any questions that may arise during the process. There is also the possibility of leaving notes on different parts of the document to help the translator understand the function of the text.
