How do you ensure the accuracy of technical or legal translations?

All technical and legal translations are assigned to translators with verified expertise in those fields. For legal documents, we use legally-qualified translators familiar with Nigerian, UK, and international legal systems. Technical documents are handled by translators with engineering or scientific backgrounds. Every translation undergoes a rigorous three-step review process including translation, editing, and proofreading by different linguists.

Do you provide certified translations for official use in Nigeria?

Yes, we provide certified translations that are accepted by Nigerian institutions including universities, courts, embassies, and corporate organizations. Our certification includes a signed statement attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation, along with our company stamp. For documents requiring notarization, we can arrange for a Nigerian notary public to notarize the certification.

What Nigerian languages do you specialize in?

We provide translation services for all major Nigerian languages including Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Fulfulde, Kanuri, Ibibio, Tiv, Edo, Igala, Idoma, Nupe, and numerous other regional dialects. Our translators are native speakers with deep cultural understanding of their respective regions, ensuring translations are not just linguistically accurate but also culturally appropriate.

How long does a typical translation project take?

Standard turnaround time is 2-3 business days per 1000 words for most language pairs. However, this can vary based on document complexity, language pair, and current workload. We offer express services for urgent projects, with same-day or 24-hour turnaround available for an additional fee. During the quoting process, we'll provide you with a realistic timeline based on your specific requirements.

How do you handle confidential documents?

Confidentiality is paramount in our work. All translators and staff sign comprehensive non-disclosure agreements. We use secure file transfer protocols, encrypted communications, and secure project management systems. For highly sensitive documents, we can arrange additional security measures such as limiting access to specific translators or implementing stricter confidentiality protocols upon request.

Can you handle large-volume translation projects?

Absolutely. We regularly handle large-volume projects for corporate clients, government agencies, and international organizations. For large projects, we implement a team translation approach with multiple translators working in parallel while maintaining consistency through terminology management and style guides. Our project managers coordinate the entire process to ensure seamless delivery of the complete project.

What file formats do you accept for translation?

We accept all common file formats including Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), PDF, InDesign, Illustrator, HTML, XML, and plain text files. For PDF files that are not editable, we use OCR technology to extract text. We can also work with specialized formats used in various industries such as CAD files, software strings, and subtitling formats.
