Sourcing a Lingala translation
We believe that trust is the most important factor when sourcing a Lingala translation service. We know that you may have difficulty in finding and choosing a professional company to handle your Lingala translation, that you know you can trust completely with your project requirements.
It is almost certain that you do not speak Lingala yourself, and it is also likely that you have never dealt with any Lingala translation requirements before. Consequently, we advise that you take all the time you need in looking into the services provided by translation companies, and don’t make a rushed decision with regards to who you contact first.
Here at Veritas, we only work with in-country, native speaking Lingala translators who have at least five years’ professional experience in Lingala translation for a range of clients. We can also guarantee to find you an expert in the specific area relating to that of your text, with all of our Lingala translators specialising in one or more fields.
So, if you require a Lingala translation of a contract, certificate, document, marketing material, website, or any other text in any format whatsoever, then contact us today for a free, no obligation Lingala translation quotation or a Lingala interpreting quotation.

Lingala translation – a language overview
Lingala is a Bantu language of the Niger-Congo language family. It is spoken throughout both a large area of the Republic of the Congo, as well as the northwestern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is an official language.
The modern form of Lingala is based on Bobangi, which was spoken by the people (or Bangala) living along the Congo River between Lisala and Kinshasa, and was the regional trade language prior to the arrival of Europeans in the late nineteenth century.
There are four variations of Lingala; Standard, Spoken, Kinshasa and Brazzaville.
Standard Lingala is used in educational and news broadcasts and is deemed to be the formal version, whilst Spoken Lingala is used in people’s day-to-day lives and informal environments, including songs.
