Swahili’s remarkable adaptability has allowed Africans to tailor the language to their needs, extending its influence far beyond its place of origin. Its symbolic and practical power has evolved from its status as a language of contact between different cultures to a truly international language.

The process can be done simultaneously thanks to the use of conference equipment. Swahili interpreters are completely fluent in arranging the grammar and syntax from English to Swahili and vice versa language so that the sentences are natural and flawless.
