I have a steady stream of sports material in English that I need rendered into natural, audience-friendly Somali. The assignments vary—one week it might be a match recap or an athlete interview, the next a longer feature article—so you should feel comfortable handling everything from quick game summaries to in-depth pieces.
Accuracy is essential, but so is an ear for the energetic tone that sports writing demands. I expect the translated copy to preserve statistics, player names, and tactical terminology without sounding literal or stiff in Somali. Fluency in both languages and a solid grasp of sports vocabulary are therefore non-negotiable.
When you deliver, please send the Somali text in the same structure as the source (headlines, subheads, pull quotes, captions) so layout on my side is painless. A short note explaining any tricky terms or culturally specific tweaks you made will also be appreciated.
