“……The Provincial Language Service (PLS) has collaborated with Abdi G. Elmi on an elaborate translation project from August to October 2009 dedicated to parents of a newborn. He translated a brochure, a DVD script, and a few supporting documents on baby’s crying from English to Somali. The translation process included translation and editing, focus group testing with the Somali community, back-translation, post-layout proofreading, and voiceover recording. Mr. Elmi was involved at every step of the process and demonstrated great flexibility and willingness to work as a team.
Though he was located in a different country and time zone, he made himself available at convenient times for us. He also responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner. We feel he was committed to this project and he complied with our procedures……….”
