About Us

We are Kenya's premier language service provider since 2009. We specialize in African languages and offer translations into any language. Our experienced translators use the latest translation software (CAT) to deliver top-notch results.

Our interpreters, embodying the motto "Present but transparent," excel in conferences and meetings, ensuring seamless communication.

Founded in Stockholm in 1989 and expanding to Nairobi in 2008, Tamarind Language Services leverages over 20 years of Swedish expertise to maintain high international standards.

As the first company in Kenya focused solely on professional translation and interpretation services, we established the Tamarind Linguist Forum (TLF) to foster professional development for translators and interpreters in Kenya and East Africa.

In 2010, we became official resellers of SDL Trados, the world’s leading translation software, across 15 African countries.

Rebranded from Tamarind Translations to Tamarind Language Services in 2019, we offer a comprehensive suite of language services, including interpretation (remote and physical), transcription, localization, telephone and video conferencing, rapporteur, and rental of interpretation equipment and executive public address systems. Reach us today for exceptional services.

“Tamarind showed professionalism and eagerness to learn in response to the challenge of localizing new material of technical content. However, it is Tamarind’s relationships with the region’s top Kiswahili language practitioners and their ability to leverage these scarce human resources towards quality and on time deliveries that really sets them apart”
