64+ active languages, with hard-to-find language availability confirmed during request check.
Ethiopian and Eritrean languages use Ethiopic script. They need font and layout checks before delivery. Sahel, Maghreb, and West African languages such as Fula, Bambara, and Tamazight may use Latin, Adlam, or Tifinagh. The right script depends on the audience. Refugee-resettlement and public-health programs often need spoken interpreting and audio review. They are not document-only requests. Hard-to-find pairs get an availability check before any timeline is promised.
