As a Swahili Language and Culture Consultant, I adapted software interfaces, websites, and apps for Swahili audiences to ensure linguistic and cultural accuracy. I performed linguistic quality assurance of translated materials and developed glossaries and style guides for Swahili localization projects. I conducted cultural sensitivity reviews and collaborated with clients in e-learning, marketing, and technology to deliver high-quality localized content. • Ensured translated content was culturally and linguistically accurate for Swahili-speaking regions. • Reviewed and labeled text data for use in software localization and language models. • Developed reference materials for use by AI and machine learning projects. • Provided continuous quality feedback and annotation support for NLP initiatives.
