Confidentiality & probity

Personal data and any information received during an assignment are handled with probity, in strict compliance with applicable data-protection and confidentiality laws. Nothing heard or read is kept or disclosed beyond what the assignment requires.

Professional translator, not sworn: if your procedure requires a translation certified by a sworn translator, please say so in your request.

Sahelian & pan-African roots

West African & trans-Saharan expertise

Hausa demands a sociolinguistic finesse that automated systems fail to capture — tones, diacritics, real-world code-switching.
