About Somali document translation

Somali was not written in a standardised script until 1972, when the Latin-based Somali alphabet was officially adopted. This relatively recent standardisation means that older documents may be in Arabic script, Italian, or English (reflecting colonial history), while newer documents use the Latin-based Somali script. The ongoing instability in parts of Somalia also means documents may be issued by various regional authorities with different formats and levels of official recognition.

Translation challenges

Document authenticity and issuing authority variation: Documents may originate from the Federal Government, regional states (Puntland, Somaliland), or local authorities, each with different formats and varying degrees of international recognition. Translators must accurately identify the issuing authority without making judgements about the document's legitimacy.
Multilingual colonial-era documents: Older Somali documents may contain text in Italian (from the colonial period), Arabic (from religious and educational records), or English (from the British Somaliland period), alongside or instead of Somali. Translators must identify and handle all languages present in the document.

Commonly translated from

We often translate Somali documents issued in Somalia, Somaliland, Djibouti. Our translators know the document formats and legal terms these countries use.

The certificate

What our certification statement says

Every translation is delivered with a signed certification page, in the wording UK Visas and Immigration, the Home Office and UK courts expect to see.

“I, [translator’s full name], certify that I am competent to translate from Somali into English, and that this is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a true and accurate translation of the original document.”
The statement is followed by the translator’s signature, the date, our company name and contact details, and a unique certificate number. Every translated page carries our Certificate of Accuracy stamp. The certificate confirms the accuracy of the translation only.
