Public-sector work we handle.
Government and NGO projects are rarely one document. They are programmes.
- A policy, then its public summary, then posters, radio scripts and forms.
- Often in several of South Africa’s official languages at once.
- Run as one project with one terminology base.
- So a term reads the same way in the policy and on the poster.
Public-sector materials we translate.
For government agencies, public sector bodies and NGOs, with the confidentiality and formatting precision this work demands.
- Policy documents and public communications
- Legislative and regulatory texts
- Public health and safety materials
- NGO and humanitarian field documentation
- Asylum and immigration case files
- Election and civic-education materials
Documents for immigration and civil records.
Personal documents submitted by the public are translated as sworn translations for Home Affairs, courts and embassies.
- Each sworn translation carries the sworn translator’s signature and seal.
- Birth certificate and marriage certificate translation
- Police clearance certificate translation
- Passport and identity document translation
- Letter of no impediment and name change document translation
- Asylum and immigration files, often with affidavits and court orders
Working with public bodies.
The same standards apply to every public-sector project.
- Confidentiality aligned with POPIA. Documents never go into a public AI engine.
- Translated forms, tables and legislation keep the source layout for side-by-side checking.
- Designed materials are typeset by our desktop publishing team.
- Written quotations before work starts, and a named project manager on every project.
- Consistent terminology across multi-document programmes.

Our standard
Confidentiality and consistent public-sector terminology.
Government work touches sensitive matters. We follow strict confidentiality protocols, align with POPIA, and apply consistent terminology across multi-document programmes.
