From your initial request to the final delivered project — a clear, collaborative path.
You share your project scope, target languages, and cultural context. We clarify goals and identify any sensitive terminology or historical references.
Our team of native speakers and subject-matter experts analyses the material. We cross-reference oral sources, legal documents, or business content for accuracy.
We produce the translated or localised version, preserving nuance and register. Every piece is reviewed by a second linguist before delivery.
You receive the draft with a commentary on key choices. We incorporate your revisions and address any questions about cultural or legal implications.
A final check against your brief and our internal style guide. We verify consistency across all materials — whether it’s a single document or a multilingual campaign.
You receive the final files in your preferred format. We remain available for follow-up clarifications or future expansions of the project.
Every service is built around South Africa’s linguistic reality — from boardroom to rural community.
We document and digitise endangered oral traditions, working with elders and community leaders to create searchable archives that keep isiXhosa, isiZulu, and other languages alive for future generations.
Beyond word-for-word translation — we adapt marketing materials, legal documents, and product content so they resonate authentically across Sesotho, Tswana, Afrikaans, and all 11 official languages.
We help companies engage customers and staff in their home language — from call centre scripts and internal policies to community outreach campaigns that build trust in every province.
Real results from working across South Africa’s languages.
“Siliku translated our annual report into isiZulu and Sesotho. The accuracy was remarkable — our stakeholders in KwaZulu-Natal finally felt truly addressed. Engagement metrics doubled.”

Communications Lead, Rural Health Initiative
“We needed certified translations for a land claim in Limpopo. Siliku’s team caught a critical mistranslation in a 1950s document. That single correction saved our case.”
Thabo Mokoena
Legal Advisor, Mokoena & Partners
“Siliku helped us record and archive isiXhosa oral histories from elders in the Eastern Cape. The digital archive is now used in local schools. A genuine bridge between generations.”
