Why Language Services Matter in Mozambique
Mozambique is a country rich in linguistic diversity, with Portuguese as the official language and over 40 indigenous languages spoken by millions across the nation. As the country continues to attract global investment and international events, the need for accurate language services becomes increasingly vital.
In cities like Maputo—the capital and economic hub—multinational conferences, trade deals, and public sector programs demand the highest standard of interpreting and translation. That’s where Applied Lingo comes in.
Coverage Across Major Mozambican Cities
Our services are available in every region of Mozambique, especially in:
Maputo – The vibrant capital and home to major government offices, international businesses, and NGOs. Applied Lingo has dedicated teams based in Maputo to offer immediate access to business interpreting, simultaneous conference interpreting, and on-site translation services. Whether you’re hosting a legal seminar, medical conference, or trade fair in Maputo, we deliver seamless language support from start to finish.
Beira – A major port city and an important logistics hub in central Mozambique. We provide technical document translation, marine and shipping terminology support, and on-site interpreters for logistics, energy, and infrastructure events.
Nampula – Known for its commercial growth and diverse communities, Nampula is another city where our expert translators and interpreters help businesses connect with clients in both local and international languages.
Our deep understanding of local cultures and dialects allows us to localize your message for maximum impact, whether you’re working in Maputo, Beira, or Nampula.

Document Translation Services Tailored for Mozambique
Applied Lingo translates all types of documents, including:
- Legal contracts and court documents
- Technical manuals and reports
- Business proposals and financial documents
- Academic transcripts and certificates
- NGO project documentation
- Medical and pharmaceutical material
All translations are performed or reviewed by native speakers of the target language and subject matter experts. We understand that a technical document meant for Maputo’s government department requires a different tone and accuracy than a tourism brochure for a hotel in Nampula—we tailor accordingly.
Transcription Services Across Languages and Formats
Whether it’s transcribing interviews for media outlets in Maputo, minutes from a corporate seminar in Beira, or converting local language audio files to written Portuguese or English, Applied Lingo offers reliable transcription services. We support both verbatim and edited transcriptions, and we deliver them fast, securely, and with utmost confidentiality.
Local Languages of Mozambique – We Speak Them All
While Portuguese remains the official language, the following are some of Mozambique’s most widely spoken local languages that we cover:
Makhuwa: Spoken primarily in the north, especially in Nampula Province. We offer expert Makhuwa translation and interpretation for development agencies and community programs.
Sena: Used largely in the Zambezia and Sofala provinces, our Sena linguists are ideal for mining, agriculture, and local administration projects.
Tsonga (Changana): Predominantly spoken in the southern parts, including around Maputo. Our services ensure accurate communication with local communities and government bodies.
Ndau: A variant of Shona spoken in central Mozambique. We offer specialized services in Ndau for cross-border collaboration with Zimbabwean organizations.
Lomwe, Yao, and Chuwabo: These languages are essential for regional engagement and outreach, especially in community-focused or health-related initiatives.
Whether you need a document translated from English to Sena, or an interpreter fluent in Makhuwa for an event in Maputo, Applied Lingo is your one-stop solution.

FAQs
How does the cost for legal translation change?
The cost of legal translation services depends on various factors, including the language pair, document complexity, urgency, and required certification. Some legal documents require specialized expertise, making legal translation services more expensive due to the technical nature of the content.
Another major factor affecting pricing is turnaround time—urgent legal translation services typically come at a higher cost to ensure quality within a short deadline. Additionally, some translations require notarization, apostille, or an official stamp, which may increase the overall cost.
At Applied Lingo, we offer transparent pricing for our legal translation services and provide customized quotes based on your specific needs. We also offer discounts for bulk legal document translations and returning clients. To get an accurate estimate, simply send us your documents for a detailed cost assessment.
Do you provide translation certifications?
Yes, Applied Lingo specializes in certified legal translation services to meet the requirements of courts, government agencies, and official institutions. Our certified legal translation services come with a signed statement verifying that the translation is an accurate and complete representation of the original document.
Certified translations are commonly required for legal contracts, court documents, business agreements, immigration papers, and official records. If your legal translation services require additional authentication, such as notarization or an apostille, we can facilitate the process or provide guidance on how to obtain it.
Our team ensures that all legal translation services comply with jurisdictional requirements, avoiding potential delays in legal processes. We prioritize accuracy, confidentiality, and compliance with international legal standards.
What is the difference between legal, certified or official translation?
Legal translation services refer to the translation of legal documents such as contracts, court judgments, laws, patents, and agreements. These translations require an in-depth understanding of legal terminology and the legal frameworks of both the source and target languages.
Certified legal translation services include an official statement from the translator or agency verifying the accuracy of the translation. These are typically required for immigration, academic records, and official government use.
Official legal translation services refer to translations carried out by a government-approved or sworn translator. In some countries, only sworn translators can provide translations that are legally valid in court or administrative procedures.
While official legal translation services may include certification, not all certified translations are considered official. At Applied Lingo, we ensure that our clients receive the appropriate type of legal translation services to meet their specific needs.
What requirements should I provide for legal translations?
To ensure accuracy in our legal translation services, we require clear, legible copies of the documents. If your document contains handwritten sections, providing a typed transcription can improve accuracy.
For certified legal translation services, we may need to include an official declaration with the translator’s signature and contact details. Some legal authorities may also require notarization, so it’s important to verify the specific requirements with the receiving institution.
Clients seeking legal translation services should inform us of any specific formatting, terminology, or jurisdictional preferences to ensure compliance with legal standards. Applied Lingo provides guidance on document submission and ensures that all legal translation services meet legal and professional requirements.
Do you provide legal interpreting?
Yes, Applied Lingo offers legal interpreting as part of our legal translation services for court hearings, legal consultations, depositions, and business negotiations. Our legal interpreters are highly trained in courtroom procedures, confidentiality rules, and complex legal terminology.
We provide both on-site and remote interpreting through video or phone calls, depending on the client’s preference. Whether you need consecutive or simultaneous interpreting, our legal translation services ensure seamless communication between all parties.
For jurisdictions requiring sworn interpreters, we also provide officially accredited professionals to handle sensitive legal matters. If you need to book an interpreter as part of our legal translation services, we recommend scheduling in advance to secure availability, especially for urgent legal proceedings.
