Hi guys,
I have been having trouble translating some terms to Swahili,would someone kindly help. I would really appreciate
a) characters
b) referees' reports
c) press releases
d) grants requests
e) online
f) poster
And is there actually no difference between a CV and a biography in Swahili? I could only come up with 'Wasifu'

Thanks.

Online = Onilaini

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

Swala hili limekuwa kizungumkuti na sitaraji litatuliwe hivi karibuni. Inshah allah

@mercie,be careful because most of the replies already given will mislead you. I am sure about these: CV=WASIFUKAZI,AUTOBIOGRAPHY= TAWASIFU,
CHARACTERS= 1.HULKA; 2.WAHUSIKA. I have the resources to assist in case you find yourself in a real fix. USIDANGANYWE NA WATAFSIRI SISISI WASIOZINGATIA MUKHTADHA.
