Our Story
Founded in 2018, Transluga began with a clear vision: to bridge communication gaps for African languages that are often overlooked by mainstream translation services. What started as a small team of passionate linguists from the African diaspora has grown into a global network of professional translators and interpreters.
Our founder, Don Nshombo, recognized the need for high-quality, culturally sensitive translation services for African languages in an increasingly connected world. With his background in linguistics and deep cultural understanding of Central and East Africa, he assembled a team of experts who share his passion for languages and cross-cultural communication.
Today, Transluga serves clients from various industries around the world, providing accurate translations and interpretation services that help them reach new markets and connect with diverse African audiences. Our specialization in languages like Swahili, Lingala, Chichewa, and Kinyarwanda sets us apart in the translation industry.
