Client Profile

African Leadership Academy (ALA) is a prestigious institution dedicated to developing the next generation of African leaders. They aim to enable lasting peace and shared prosperity by identifying, developing, and connecting Africa’s future leaders. ALA creates a tight-knit, pan-African community that empowers each student with the skills and mindsets required for transformative leadership.

Scope

ALA needed to ensure that all students, regardless of their language proficiency, had access to course materials in a language they could understand. Specifically, they required translation of their course materials and other learning resources from English to French. This was crucial to maintaining their inclusive approach and effectively catering to their diverse student body from across the African continent.

Our Solution

To address ALA’s needs, we implemented the following:

• Specialized Education Translators: We assembled a team of professional translators with expertise in educational content and familiarity with African contexts. This ensured accurate translation of complex academic concepts and culturally relevant material.
• Rigorous Quality Assurance: We implemented a multi-step review process, including peer review and final proofreading, to guarantee the highest quality of translation.
• Format Preservation: Our team utilised advanced translation tools to maintain the original document formats, ensuring that all images, graphs, and layouts remained intact and positioned correctly in the French versions.
• Efficient Project Management: Our dedicated project manager oversaw the entire process, ensuring smooth communication, timely delivery, and adherence to ALA’s requirements.
• Technical Expertise: We handled various file formats, including presentation slides, PDFs, and interactive e-learning materials, ensuring all assets were properly translated regardless of their original format.

Results

Through our specialised translation services, we helped Africa Leadership Academy overcome language barriers in their educational materials. We supported ALA’s mission of developing a diverse group of future African leaders by providing high-quality French translations of their course content. Our ability to handle various document formats, maintain quality, and deliver ahead of schedule contributed to the success of this project. It reinforced ALA’s commitment to inclusive, pan-African leadership development.
