Translation, Interpretation & Localization

At Kabod Group, we believe language is a powerful force for connection and impact, especially in Africa’s multilingual communities, where crucial knowledge often gets lost in translation. Whether it’s research findings, community programs, or policy advocacy, clear communication in the right language is essential for building trust, inclusivity, and understanding.

That’s why we’ve built an extensive network of over 10,000 skilled translators, providing access to 116+ languages to support organizations in delivering their message accurately and culturally sensitively. With a proven track record of 66 million+ words translated and 29,000+ clients served, we know the value of getting every word just right, especially in contexts where translation can make or break an initiative’s success.
