Yeah that too would do but with a slight change : "nambari yako ya stakabadhi ni...." You might also consider `Nambari ya dharura` .. which becomes `Nambari yako ya dharura ni .. ` `Dharura` for `transaction` doesnt sound right to me, probably Tz or ancient swa.

I'd go for "Nambari yako ya Stakabathi".
Hi Actually Stakabathi is teh closest to the meaning, Stakabathi can be roughly be translated to document, i.e. Stakabathi zako za kusafiri, You travel documents... On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 11:02 AM, Clement Ongera <cnongera@gmail.com> wrote:

I thought dharura was emergency? :-) Stakabadhi sound more acceptable to me. I'd transalate 'to refer' as 'kuashiria.' Though 'Nambari ya kuashiria' has connotations of pointing! On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 8:32 AM, tech newbie <mungix@gmail.com> wrote:

@John Doe : we also consider that translating from one lang to another isnt just substituting words but substituting the meaning thereof. thats how , for example, `asking for help` does not become `kuulizia msaada` but rather `kuomba msaada`. there are many other examples esp as pertains swa <==> english hence the reason why translating `reference` into the swa phrase might obscure the intended meaning.
