Meet Habib Sani Yahaya
I work where translation, research, and cultural understanding meet. My focus is Hausa and English, and I help organisations communicate clearly across language and context. This includes NGOs, research groups, development programs, and teams that need accuracy and discretion.
My work is guided by a simple idea: meaning only matters when it reaches people as intended. Many materials fail because they overlook cultural nuance or depend on literal translation. I start each project by understanding its purpose, its audience, and the points where misunderstanding is most likely to occur.
I have handled projects that require more than converting text from one language to another. Some involve sensitive interviews. Others require terminology research or careful interpretation of context that is implied rather than stated. These experiences shape how I work: steady, precise, and attentive to detail.
