I have a collection of Amharic documents—well over fifty pages in total—that I need translated into clear, idiomatic Somali. The job is strictly document-based; no web copy or audio/video is involved. Accuracy, natural flow, and consistent terminology are essential. I’d like each file returned in the same layout as the original (Word or PDF), but in an editable format so I can make final tweaks if needed. A careful self-proofread before delivery is expected; I’m looking for a clean, publication-ready Somali version without the need for an extra review round. Deliverable: • Complete Somali translations of all source pages, formatted to mirror the originals. Please let me know your estimated turnaround time, your approach to large-volume projects, and, if possible, a brief example of similar Amharic-to-Somali work you’ve handled. Feel free to ask any questions that will help you quote accurately or plan the workflow.

Hi Are these documents general/informational content, or do they include specialized terminology (legal, medical, technical) that would need consistent glossary tracking across the 50+ pages? I can translate accurately into idiomatic Somali, preserve the original formatting, and self-proofread thoroughly before delivering a clean, publication-ready set. https://www.freelancer.com/u/alyan056 Alyan
