LOBAKA Zando · The marketOpening gradually
Zando,theLOBAKAmarket.
Zando means “market” in Lingala. It holds two very different things: professionals, with Zando Services, and what LOBAKA sells itself, with LOBAKA Shop.
Opening gradually. Professionals can sign up now; their profile appears in the directory once reviewed by LOBAKA, starting with Algiers. LOBAKA Shop opens item by item, once prices are set.
Zando ServicesInterpreters, translators, guides, audio describers. Between you and them.
LOBAKA ShopKoris, kits, equipment, goods. Sold by LOBAKA.
In use
A French to Arabic interpreter, for a given date.
An organiser describes what they need: profession, languages, date, city. Zando suggests profiles reviewed by LOBAKA and says why each one is suggested. Zando is opening gradually: a profile only appears once it has been reviewed.
Search

Two worlds
You don't book an interpreter the way you buy a cable.
A booking is not an order. In Zando Services, payment is declared between the client and the professional; in LOBAKA Shop, it is received by LOBAKA.
My bookings and My orders stay two separate pages, each with its own steps.
For professionals
You find your clients. You set your rates. LOBAKA takes no commission.
Interpreter, translator, guide or audio describer: your profile is free, and the client pays you directly.
Free profile, search, messaging and quotes
Organizers' open requests, the ones that match you first: you choose whether to offer
Your prices, your terms
Direct payment between the client and you: BaridiMob, CIB, bank transfer, cash or any agreed method
Zero LOBAKA commission on your services
Payment happens outside LOBAKA. LOBAKA collects nothing on behalf of professionals.
Principles
What Zando is not.
01Not a general marketplace
Every offer must serve a LOBAKA experience: using it, deploying it, equipping it or enriching it.
02No commission on human work
An interpreter's fee goes to the interpreter, in full.
03No fake reviews
A review can only be left after a real service, by the client.
04Badges that are earned
A profile is reviewed by LOBAKA before it appears, never published automatically. LOBAKA certifies neither identity nor qualifications.
Replayed with every version. Booking an interpreter: a verified profile, a quote, a booking, a declared payment, a review. Latest campaign, 12 October 2026: Passed.
