Translation Services in Nairobi

Translation Services in Nairobi, Kenya

Certified, confidential translation for legal, medical, technical, and business documents. Delivered by subject-matter translators, not general-purpose bilingual staff.

Certified, Notarized, or Standard? Know Which One You Need

This is the single most common point of confusion for anyone requesting translation in Nairobi, and it’s worth getting right before you order. It’s the most common reason people end up paying for the same document twice.

Standard translation

Accurate and professional, but with no official certification. Fine for internal use, marketing, or general reading – not accepted by government offices.

Certified translation

Includes a signed statement confirming the translation is a true and complete rendering of the original. Required by most Kenyan immigration offices, universities, and embassies.

Notarized translation

A certified translation additionally sworn before a notary. Typically required for court filings or certain international submissions.

Not sure which one you need? Ask the receiving institution first, then contact us. We’ll confirm the right certification level before starting the work.

Document Translation

Document translation covers the everyday paperwork that keeps businesses, institutions, and individuals moving – reports, manuals, guides, and publications translated accurately and delivered fast.

Whether it’s an internal report circulating between Nairobi and a regional office, or a guide that needs to reach a non-English-speaking audience, the priority is the same: preserving meaning and tone, not just swapping words.

It Includes:

  • Certified translations accepted by Kenyan courts, embassies and government offices
  • Rated 5.0 on Google by 110+ clients across Nairobi
  • Vetted interpreters experienced in legal, financial and diplomatic settings
  • On-site technical support, so equipment failure isn’t something you have to think about

Legal Translation

Legal translation covers contracts, court documents, and affidavits – work where a single mistranslated clause isn’t a typo, it’s a liability.

Legal documents submitted to Kenyan courts, government offices, or international parties typically require certified translation, and often need a translator with legal-subject background, not just fluency in both languages.

It Includes:

  • Contracts and agreements
  • Court documents and affidavits
  • Powers of attorney
  • Certified translation where required
  • Confidential handling from receipt to delivery

Medical Translation

Medical translation covers clinical records, patient information, and healthcare documentation – content where accuracy directly affects patient care.

Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare organizations working with non-English-speaking patients or international partners need medical translation handled by translators who understand clinical terminology, not general vocabulary.

It Includes:

  • Clinical records and patient files
  • Consent forms and healthcare information
  • Medical reports for referrals or insurance
  • Strict confidentiality throughout
  • Review by translators with healthcare-subject background
  •

Technical Translation

Technical translation covers manuals, SOPs, and engineering content – documents where precision in industry-specific terminology matters more than fluency alone.

A mistranslated safety instruction or specification in a technical manual can create real operational risk, so this work goes to translators with relevant industry background.

It Includes:

  • Manuals and SOPs
  • Engineering and product specification documents
  • Safety documentation
  • Terminology consistency across large document sets
  • Formatting for technical layouts (diagrams, tables, specs)

Marketing & Website Translation

Marketing and website translation covers campaigns, product content, and web copy – work that needs to read naturally in the target language, not just accurately.

Literal translation often falls flat in marketing content; this work requires adapting tone and cultural context so the message lands the same way it does in the original language.

It Includes:

  • Website and landing page content
  • Marketing campaigns and product descriptions
  • Brand-safe, culturally adapted messaging
  • Multi-language content for regional markets
  • Consistency with existing brand terminology

  • Inclusive-format document preparation
  • Coordination with standard translation for consistency across formats
