Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes. Afrilingual Sounds specializes in translating from English (and French) into any East African or DRC language, and vice versa. Whether you need English to Swahili, English to Kinyarwanda, English to Lingala, English to Amharic, English to Somali, English to Luganda, or any other African language pair, our native-speaking translators deliver accurate, culturally appropriate results.

Question 5

Is there a free African language translation option available?

Accepted Answer

While Afrilingual Sounds does not offer free translation services, we do offer a free no-obligation consultation and a transparent, itemized quote for every project regardless of size. Free machine translation tools like Google Translate exist but often miss cultural nuance, context, and dialect accuracy in East African languages. For documents, websites, legal papers, medical content, or NGO communications where accuracy matters, professional human translation by Afrilingual Sounds is strongly recommended.

Question 14

Why is professional translation better than Google Translate for African languages?

Accepted Answer

Google Translate and other machine translation tools have limited accuracy for East African languages, especially regional dialects. They often miss cultural context, produce unnatural phrasing, and make errors that damage credibility. For business contracts, medical documents, NGO communications, legal filings, and marketing materials, mistranslations can have serious consequences. Afrilingual Sounds provides human, native-speaker translation that is culturally accurate, trustworthy, and fit for professional use in East African and DRC markets.

The DRC is one of the most important markets for professional translation services in Central Africa, with over 100 million people and strong connections to East Africa through trade, migration, and shared Swahili use. We are your translation partner for both East Africa and DRC.
