Translation Services for Annual Report

The Ingonyama Trust Board is inviting bids for the professional translation of its Annual Report from English into isiZulu. This initiative is crucial for ensuring that isiZulu-speaking stakeholders, including communities and traditional leaders, can fully engage with the report in their native language. The scope of work includes translating all narrative sections, headings, captions, tables, and figures, while maintaining the original meaning and context of the document. The successful bidder will also be responsible for quality assurance, proofreading, and providing a final editable document in Microsoft Word format.

The chosen service provider must demonstrate proven experience in translating government and institutional documents, with a strong understanding of terminology related to governance, finance, and land administration. The translation must be accurate, culturally appropriate, and free from errors. A minimum three-stage quality assurance process is required, ensuring that the translation meets the high standards expected by the Ingonyama Trust Board. The expected turnaround time for the project is approximately 25 to 30 working days, with the first draft due within 15 to 20 working days after appointment.
