Title: AfriTranslate — Publication‑Ready Scientific and Technical Translations You Can Trust
If your work depends on precise equations, rigorous methods, and carefully structured evidence, “good enough” translation isn’t good enough. AfriTranslate delivers publication‑ready translations for scientific and technical content, preserving meaning, formatting, and credibility from the first line to the last figure caption.
What makes AfriTranslate different AfriTranslate was built for the realities of research, engineering, and professional standards. We preserve the details that matter to reviewers and stakeholders:
- Mathematical integrity: Equations, variables, symbols, units, and numbering remain exactly as authored.
- Structural fidelity: Headings, sections, tables, figures, captions, and cross‑references are retained and correctly positioned.
- Terminology precision: Domain glossaries ensure consistent use of technical terms across the entire document. When a direct translation does not exist, we add a concise definition in parentheses for clarity.
- Academic rigor: References and citations are formatted to the style you choose (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard) and checked for consistency.
- Cultural and linguistic authenticity: Tone and register are adapted to the target language without diluting scientific intent.
