Translation & Interpretation Services

Kenya School of Languages provides professional translation and interpretation services for individuals, businesses, institutions, NGOs, government agencies, schools, universities and international organizations. We help clients communicate clearly and professionally across different languages and cultural settings through document translation, interpretation and language support services.

Translation services

Document translation across a wide range of formats.

Document translation converts written material from a source language into a target language while preserving meaning, tone and context. Availability depends on language pair, document type and translator availability.

Academic documents Certificates Transcripts Business documents Contracts and agreements Reports Proposals Letters Official correspondence Training materials Manuals Policies Presentations Websites Marketing materials Institutional documents Personal documents
Interpretation services

Live language support, spoken or signed.

Unlike translation, interpretation happens in real time during a meeting, conversation or event. We can help arrange interpretation support for:

Business meetings Conferences Workshops Interviews Training programmes Government meetings Institutional meetings International delegations Community engagements Corporate events Educational events Online meetings
Languages available

Services may be available in these languages.

Arabic Chinese / Mandarin Dutch English French German Italian Japanese Kiswahili Korean Latin Norwegian Persian Polish Portuguese Russian Sign Language Somali Spanish Turkish

Availability depends on translator or interpreter availability for the specific language pair and is confirmed at enquiry stage — not every language is always immediately available.
