About the Sena language.
Sena (Chisena) is spoken in central Mozambique, along the lower Zambezi in Sofala, Tete, Manica and Zambezia provinces, including the Beira area, and in southern Malawi. It is one of Mozambique's larger national languages. It is a Bantu language written in the Latin alphabet. Other Bantu languages we translate include Bemba, Chichewa, Otjiherero and Kimbundu.
Sena is related to Chichewa and Nyungwe but is a separate language with its own spelling. We use a Sena translator for Sena readers and agree key terms at the start of longer projects.
Mozambique's official documents are issued in Portuguese, which we also translate. Sena work is usually community and health information, humanitarian material, personal letters and statements, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Sena letters and statements into English or Portuguese. For Mozambican certificates in Portuguese, see our European Portuguese page. 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 Sena translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Sena 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 Sena 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.
Sena legal translation

Each project is assigned to a linguist with the right language pair and subject expertise, and managed by a named project manager.
