Linguistic considerations
Getting Amharic right.
Small choices — script, register and filing context — change whether a Amharic document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly. Here is what we watch for.
Script & typography
Amharic uses the Ge'ez (Fidel) script, which renders left-to-right with syllabic characters. We maintain certified terminology bases for federal, legal and medical terms.
Recipient alignment
Every Amharic project is matched to its destination — a certified translation formatted for the exact recipient, or an interpreter briefed on the venue's protocol — so it clears review the first time.
