Not every isiZulu translation requires certification. The exact requirement depends on the type of document and the authority or institution receiving it.

If the translation is for a court, government department, academic institution, immigration matter or another formal process, tell us where it will be submitted.

Where possible, send us the receiving authority's instructions together with the complete document.

Language Accuracy

Professional isiZulu Language & Terminology

Effective isiZulu translation requires more than replacing English words with direct equivalents. Meaning, audience, register and context all affect the final wording.

Context & Natural Language

Formal documents, workplace communication, educational content and spoken conversation do not always use the same level of language.

The translation should therefore suit the purpose and intended reader rather than sound like a literal word-for-word rendering.

Names, Terms & South African Context

Names of institutions, government bodies, qualifications, legal terms and workplace terminology need to be handled consistently.

Where terminology has an established South African usage, that context should be taken into account.

Tell us who the material is intended for so that the language, register and terminology can be matched to the audience.
