West Africa

One language corridor, one translator

ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) trade runs across a language border: Ghana and Nigeria work in English, while Togo, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal work in French. Every contract, tender and compliance file that crosses that border needs professional French–English translation — exactly the pair I am sworn for. I work remotely for companies and NGOs across the region, with delivery by email and invoicing in FCFA, EUR or USD.

FAQ

Common questions

Translation, corporate training and institutional billing. View all FAQs or jump to courses & tutoring.

Choose general translation for contracts, reports, NGO documents and internal business files that don’t need a sworn translator’s stamp — priced at 66–118 FCFA per word. Choose certified (sworn) translation when an embassy, university, court or government body will verify the document legally — visa applications, university admissions and court submissions. When in doubt, the quote tells you which applies.

Yes. Documents are received and delivered digitally worldwide. A stamped paper copy can be collected in Lomé or sent by courier anywhere in Togo; outside Togo, you receive the stamped PDF. Payment is accepted via bank transfer and international wire (SWIFT). The certified translation carries my stamp and signature as a translator sworn before the Cour d’appel de Lomé; acceptance always remains the receiving authority’s decision.

Yes. Workshops are delivered at your premises in Lomé or live via Zoom for distributed teams across West Africa and internationally. Scheduling is coordinated with your HR or operations contact.

Yes. All documents are handled under strict professional confidentiality. Files are kept in a secure, encrypted folder, are never shared with any third party and are permanently deleted 30 days after delivery — immediately on request. Only the register of certified translations — number, date, document type and language pair — is kept indefinitely: it is what lets a receiving authority verify where a translation came from, and it holds no document content. A formal non-disclosure agreement is available to any client on request — it can be signed before you send any document. See the operational policies for full terms.

For institutional and corporate clients: Corporate bank transfer — Ecobank Togo, Orabank Togo. SWIFT international transfer — for clients outside Togo and international organisations. Corporate invoice workflow: full payment or an authorised purchase order is required before work starts. A pro forma invoice is issued first, followed by a tax invoice on delivery. See the operational policies for full terms.

Send your document by WhatsApp (+228 79 71 62 58) or by email ([email protected]), whichever you prefer: both reach me. Accepted formats: PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), JPG, PNG or TIFF, and any scanned image or clear photo. The resolution should be clear enough to read all text. You do not need to send the original document — a clear photo or scan is sufficient for certified translations.

Corporate Training Circles are monthly programmes (excl. tax): Duo Circle — 4 workshops/month, max 3 staff, 100,000 FCFA / month; Standard Circle — 8 workshops/month, max 5 staff, 200,000 FCFA / month; Double Circle — 16 workshops/month, 10 staff with two trainers, 360,000 FCFA / month. Business English and/or Professional French, tailored to your team. A placement test is conducted before training begins. Book a free discovery call via Calendly.

The Duo Circle covers up to 3 employees, Standard up to 5 and Double up to 10 with two trainers. This keeps workshops interactive and allows personalised feedback. Larger organisations can run several groups, each in its own Circle.

Workshops are delivered at your premises in Lomé or live via Zoom for distributed teams. The session format stays the same — 60 minutes each, 4, 8 or 16 a month depending on the Circle, scheduled with your HR team.

Corporate Training Circles are billed monthly via pro forma invoice (100,000 / 200,000 / 360,000 FCFA excl. tax depending on the Circle). Payment by bank transfer (Ecobank Togo, Orabank Togo) or SWIFT for international organisations. Advance payment or an authorised purchase order is required before the programme begins.

French and English only. This exclusive focus ensures the highest level of precision and domain expertise in both languages. For other language pairs, I can recommend trusted colleagues in the professional translation network.

For source documents: PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), JPG, PNG or TIFF, and any scanned image or clear photo. For delivery: certified translations are always delivered as a PDF bearing my stamp. The original Word file can also be provided for general translations on request.
