ABOUT US
Based in Dakar, Senegal, Firilma Language Services helps businesses, institutions, NGOs, and individuals communicate clearly across languages and cultures.
Our work is guided by a simple principle: effective translation must reflect how people actually speak and understand each other. For this reason, we focus not only on linguistic accuracy, but also on cultural context, tone, and local usage. This approach allows our clients to communicate naturally and credibly with native speakers.
Firilma places strong value on African languages and cultures. We are committed to ensuring that local expressions, meanings, and perspectives are respected and accurately conveyed in every project. The name Firilma comes from the Wolof expression “Firi-l-ma,” meaning “Translate for me,” and reflects our dedication to clarity and reliability.
We are recognized for our professionalism, responsiveness, and respect for deadlines. By combining linguistic expertise with cultural insight, Firilma Language Services delivers dependable solutions for cross-cultural communication — in Senegal, across West Africa, and internationally.
