Translation converts written words from one language to another. Localization goes further, adapting tone, idioms, images, and formatting so content feels native to Mandinka-speaking audiences rather than translated. Layouts often need to adjust for text expansion or contraction, colors and imagery need cultural review, and navigation patterns need to match local user behavior rather than being carried over unchanged. A localized website or app is reviewed for cultural fit and usability, not just linguistic accuracy. If you need a certified document instead of adapted content, see our translation services.

Yes. We caption, subtitle, and transcribe video and audio content in Mandinka, including training videos, marketing content, and public-facing media. Every multimedia project is reviewed by a native speaking linguist before delivery to confirm timing, tone, and readability all hold up on screen, not just that the words are correct. Dubbing and voiceover work is available for projects that need a fully native audio track rather than subtitles alone.

Yes. We adapt websites, software interfaces, and apps into Mandinka, reviewed by native speaking linguists for tone and usability. This includes adjusting for text expansion, checking that navigation patterns match local user behavior, and reviewing images and icons for cultural fit, not just translating the interface strings. For ongoing products, we can also support ongoing string updates on a recurring schedule as new features ship, rather than treating each release as a one-off project.

Transcreation reimagines marketing content, such as taglines, campaigns, and ad copy, for a new audience rather than translating it literally. It is best for brand and marketing content where tone and emotional impact matter as much as the words. For Mandinka audiences, this often means rebuilding a headline or campaign concept from scratch rather than adapting the English version word for word, since a literal translation of a pun, idiom, or emotional appeal frequently falls flat or means something unintended in another language.

Pricing depends on content type, length, format, and turnaround. A single web page costs less than a full software interface or a multimedia campaign with video and subtitles. Ongoing localization for a product with recurring releases is typically priced differently than a one-time project. Request a quote with your specific content and we will confirm rates before you commit, with no obligation.

Turnaround depends on the scope of the project, from a single web page to a full multimedia campaign. Software and app localization with ongoing string updates typically runs on a recurring schedule rather than a single delivery date, so new content gets localized as it ships. Video and multimedia projects take longer than text-only content, since captioning and review add steps beyond the translation itself. Tell us your timeline and we will confirm realistic delivery before you commit, rather than overpromising a date.

Yes. Campaign headlines, social media posts, and paid ad copy are common transcreation requests, adapted for Mandinka audiences rather than translated word for word. We review tone, cultural references, and imagery so the campaign lands the way it was intended to, not just accurately. This includes flagging any visuals, colors, or symbols that carry different associations for Mandinka-speaking audiences than they do in the source market.

Yes. We localize training videos, internal communications, and online learning content into Mandinka, reviewed for accuracy and cultural fit before delivery. This includes subtitling, dubbing where needed, and adapting any on-screen text or graphics, so employees or learners get a version of the material that feels built for them rather than translated after the fact.

Yes. CCI Group holds 8(a), WOSB, and GSA Schedule certifications and supports public sector clients with Mandinka localization for websites and public facing digital content, available through our Sourcewell contract without a separate RFP process. Public facing digital platforms are increasingly expected to meet accessibility and language access standards, and Mandinka localization is often the first step agencies take to reach Mandinka-speaking residents online. See our federal delivery history for details.

Use the contact form on this page or send us the content you need localized, a webpage, an app, a video, or a marketing campaign. Tell us your timeline and target platform, and whether the project is a one-time delivery or an ongoing need with recurring updates. We will confirm scope and pricing before any work begins, and can set up a repeatable process for content that ships on a regular schedule.
