bayantech Swahili Language Expertise

Swahili’s unique grammar and lexical morphology require special attention to detail. For example, in translating from Swahili to English, a common problem is different word choices, which usually results in irrelevant and awkward translations if machine translation is being used.

Applying innovative methodologies and industry best practices, bayantech relies on a huge talent pool of Swahili native-speaking linguists armed with updated glossaries and style guides, providing consistently accurate translations that are well adjusted to the locale-specific cultural beliefs.

However, it’s not only linguistic and cultural accuracy that bayantech seeks, but also technical precision.

The Swahili writing system changed from an Arabic script to Latin script, which resulted in some differences in orthographic conventions between cities and authors over the centuries. Some ended up quite precise, but others turned out defective enough to cause some difficulty in their readability. With bayantech, you don’t have to worry about that. Thanks to our in-house team of localization engineers and DTP specialists, you can rest assured all technical difficulties will be professional addressed and resolved. We support all character sets and fonts, expertly handling RTL, LTR, and bi-directional languages.
