I need 32 pages translated from Swahili to English for an asylum application. Professional certified translation quotes are around $1,050, which my family can't afford. If you're bilingual, and especially if you're certified or work in a related field, I'd really appreciate any time you can give. You can work on any portion; even five or ten pages helps. I'll send scans securely through the platform's messaging once we agree. The deadline is December, but earlier is better so there's time for review. I'll happily provide a letter of thanks and a reference. I hope life is good to you.
