Why Ethiotrans vs. “Generic” Translation Sites

✓Deep African specialization (Amharic, Oromo, Tigrinya, Somali, Dinka, Nuer, Swahili, Arabic) plus 150+ languages.

✓Software & web localization in addition to document translation.

✓Regulated-sector readiness (legal/medical/technical) with review workflows.

Market note: Big, generalist providers are consolidating and restructuring, while AI tools (e.g., DeepL) are rising—our hybrid “human-in-the-loop” model provides accuracy, cultural nuance, and continuity in African languages where generic engines falter.
