English to Afrikaans Translation

Afrikaans is one of the eleven official languages of South Africa, with English also spoken in the country. Both languages have several similarities including the origins; Afrikaans has extreme similarities to Dutch while English has Dutch roots. This is mainly in relation to grammar and word order, which are consistent in both languages. English to Afrikaans translation is an extremely challenging when mastering formalities with Afrikaans having two formalities to choose between; U (formal), or jy and jou (informal). To translate English to Afrikaans means that the translator should be not only a trained expert, but also a native Afrikaans speaker. On the other hand, the task to translate Afrikaans to English is also challenging. Despite similarities with English, they have vastly different vocabularies. Afrikaans is considerably simpler with no verb conjugation and only three tenses to master. Instead of making things easier for Afrikaans translators, this imposes challenges. For content that resonates with your audience, choosing the right formality is crucial. A top-rated Afrikaans translation agency can help you make the right choice so your content is as flawless as possible.

Afrikaans Translation Tips & Insights

We are a trusted Afrikaans translation company for businesses across the globe. Here we share some of our expert insights to help ensure your translation is as good as it gets.

Always Consider Your Audience
Afrikaans has two levels of formality, whereas English has just one. When performing an Afrikaans to English translation, you can use the word you want to address anyone you like. However, you need to choose the right formality when you translate English to Afrikaans. Otherwise, your content can be less effective.

Be Aware of Afrikaans Slang
Until 1925, Afrikaans was not an official language but rather a Dutch slang. Although it is an official language now, it is still ever-changing and has full of nuances, slang words, and unusual phrases. The language evolves so quickly that a native speaker that has lived abroad for many years might struggle with fluency.

Afrikaans Language Facts

• Afrikaans was not considered an official language until 1925. Before this point, it was considered a slang and
