Ibibio Translation Services

Yes. Translation in Ibibio - a language of Akwa Ibom State in south-eastern Nigeria - is routine here, not something arranged specially when it comes up. The text is delivered in Latin script using the digraphs kp, gb and ñ, with tone left unmarked, produced by a native speaker and checked by a second one before it reaches you.

The regular Ibibio material is community and church recordings, asylum interviews, oral histories and health material. Speaker labels, timestamps and layout are set to suit whichever of those you are sending, which is the difference between a file you can use and a draft you have to rework. Most of the work here ends up in front of someone with the authority to reject it.

The 99+% accuracy standard comes from human work plus an independent check: one translator produces the file, and then another verifies it line by line against the source. Dates, figures and proper nouns are checked separately from the prose, because those are the details a reviewing office compares first. The reviewer on each Ibibio file checks names and terms against the source instead of reading the text through, because this material is full of names nobody can guess at. That second pass is what catches a term rendered two different ways in the same document.

Yes. Everyone who touches your material signs an NDA, transfer is encrypted, and access is limited to the people assigned to the job, usually one translator and one reviewer. Personal records, contracts and pre-filing material arrive daily, so access is closed by default and opened only to the pair on the job. Ibibio files often carry names, addresses and case references, so access stays with the assigned translator and the reviewer. Your own agreement can be signed before the first file is sent.

In the format your workflow already uses, with real styles and structure instead of flat text, so the file drops into your records without reformatting. The Ibibio text itself is written in Latin script using the digraphs kp, gb and ñ, with tone left unmarked. Editable files come back editable - a Word document returns as Word, not as a PDF you cannot amend.

In Latin script using the digraphs kp, gb and ñ, with tone left unmarked, as a reader of Ibibio would expect to see it. The finished file is real text, not an image or a phonetic approximation, so your team can search it, paste from it and quote it. Rarer languages are confirmed as available before the quote goes out, not after you have paid.

Both directions. Ibibio into English and English into Ibibio go to different people, because a translator works into their first language and not out of it. Certified translation is available at $25 per page. Certified pages are prepared in the format the receiving office asks for, with the signed statement attached.

Ibibio has a smaller pool of qualified translators than the major languages, so availability is confirmed before you pay and not promised then rescheduled. Most requests are placed within hours; where the wait would be longer, you are told at quoting stage. A single page is a normal order here, and most certified filings start with exactly that.

Translation starts at $0.10 per word, and certified documents at $25 per page. What moves the figure is the word count, the subject matter and whether the document has to be certified, so the quote is built from your actual files and not from a rate card. Translation is priced per word and certification per page, so you can see which part of the figure is which. Ibibio sits outside the commonly requested languages, so availability is confirmed before the quote is issued and not after you have paid. You get an exact total in writing before anything starts.

Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available, and the delivery time is confirmed in writing before you pay. Ibibio material with heavy code-switching takes longer to work through than clean single-speaker source, and the date you are given reflects that. Scope is agreed before the clock starts, so a document job, a website and a media file on the same order each get their own realistic date. If a deadline cannot be met you are told at quoting stage, not on the day.
