English-Swahili Translation for Learners

I have a collection of English texts—everything from brief website blurbs to full educational articles—that must be rendered into smooth, natural Swahili. The end readers are students and other self-directed learners, so the tone needs to stay friendly, clear, and easy to digest while still conveying every idea accurately.
You are free to work with any subject matter the project brings; what matters most is that the Swahili feels authentic, not machine-generated, and that complex concepts are expressed in language a Kenyan or Tanzanian learner would instinctively grasp. Whenever possible, please favor everyday phrasing over heavy formality, but keep technical terms precise.
Deliverables
• Final Swahili version for each source file in Word or Google Docs
• A brief glossary where you feel added clarification will help a learner understand new vocabulary
I will supply the English originals as soon as we start and I’m happy to answer context questions along the way. Let me know your turnaround time per 1,000 words and any relevant tools or previous work you can share.
