    I have two straightforward tasks that need to be completed within the next 48 hours. First, I need a two-page Arabic legal document rendered into clear, precise American English. Every legal nuance must be preserved, the tone should remain formal, and the final text must read naturally to a U.S. audience. No machine translations—only a human-produced version that I can rely on. Second, I have about 100 rows of mixed numerical and text information that must be transferred accurately into an Excel spreadsheet. The layout is simple, but precision is critical; any typos will undermine the larger project this data feeds into. Please include samples of past work—particularly legal translations—so I can gauge style and accuracy quickly. If you can confidently deliver both the...

    I have a batch of legal documents that first need to be keyed into an organised spreadsheet/database and then professionally translated. The material is exclusively legal in nature—contracts, agreements and a few court filings—so absolute accuracy and preservation of original formatting are essential. Here is what I need done: • Clean data entry of all clauses, tables and reference numbers into an editable file (Excel or Google Sheets is fine). • A faithful, clause-by-clause legal translation of the same documents. The source and target languages will be confirmed with you before we start, but please outline which language pairs you handle confidently. • Delivery of both the translated files and the populated data sheet, each cross-referenced so that every...

    I have a set of English-language affidavits that must be translated with absolute accuracy into both Amharic and Oromo. Every statement will be filed in court, so the legal meaning, formatting and tone have to carry over perfectly. You will receive editable Word files and I need the finished translations laid out in the same format so they can be signed and notarised immediately. Confidentiality is non-negotiable, and familiarity with Ethiopian legal terminology is essential. When you reply, focus on your experience handling legal documents—ideally affidavits—and mention any relevant certifications or court-accepted projects you have completed. A brief overview of that background and your typical turnaround time is all I need. Deliverables: • Amharic version of each aff...
