Our Gikuyu linguists
As well as being qualified and tested linguists all our Gikuyu translators
and interpreters sign up to our code of conduct which governs expected
quality levels and ensures confidentiality. In addition, our database
keeps track of all their specialist areas so we can find exactly
the right person for your assignment.
Gikuyu translation
For Gikuyu translations, Geo works with qualified, expert translators.
All our Gikuyu translators are professionals translating into their
mother tongue. Normally they will live in the country where the
target language is spoken so that they remain up to speed with the
language and culture. The only time this doesn’t work is if the
translator is required to have knowledge about a linguistic community
outside the target culture... for instance if our Gikuyu translator
who is based in the target country might not have the necessary
understanding or terminology to translate a document for the Gikuyu
community in the UK dealing with UK bodies and concepts..e.g. the
Financial Ombudsman or the NHS. In these instances Geo works with
qualified Gikuyu translators in the UK to use the correct, established
terminology. See our translation section for more information on Gikuyu translation
or have a look at our. If you need help with back translation
from Gikuyu, then we also have a great database of validated, high
quality translators to meet your needs.

Gikuyu typesetting
Typesetting in different languages can be tricky if you don’t know
what you’re doing. Hyphenation rules change. Fonts sometimes aren’t
supported in some design packages. Some languages read left to right
(like English), others (like Arabic) read right to left. Gikuyu
is no different, but you can rest assured that we can help you.
