About the Kpelle language.
Kpelle is the largest language of Liberia, spoken mainly in the centre of the country, including Bong County, and in the forest region of Guinea, where it is also called Guerzé. It is a Mande language written in the Latin alphabet. Other Mande languages we translate include Bambara, Dyula, Mandinka and Mende.
Liberian and Guinean Kpelle are close but have their own spelling conventions. Tell us which country your readers are in and we will match the translator.
Liberia's official documents are issued in English and Guinea's in French; we translate both. Kpelle work is usually public health and community information, church material, personal letters and statements, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Kpelle letters and statements into English or French. Liberian names are often spelled in more than one way, so we keep them consistent with the passport or other documents you supply. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Certified Kpelle translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Kpelle translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Kpelle translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
