Imanoela Fifaliana is a translator for Global Voices in Malagasy. Her translation of the story “Legal barriers hinder fight against femicide in Nigeria and Kenya” from English to Malagasy has been nominated for the Lingua Translation Spotlight.

Once a quarter, Lingua Translation Managers select one or two outstanding translations that deserve a special round of applause. Miora Stéphanie Radifera, a Malagasy Translation Manager, commented:

Imanoela provided a faithful and impactful translation on such a sensitive topic as violence against women, which is unfortunately also a pervasive issue in Madagascar. Her translation helps the Malagasy-speaking audience access similar stories from our sister countries, which will hopefully raise awareness of this issue that continues to grow.

Well done, Imanoela! Take a look at her translation on the Global Voices in Malagasy website:
