Translation for the African Continent
Africa is among the most linguistically diverse regions in the world. English, French, Portuguese, and Arabic serve as official languages in many countries, yet hundreds of indigenous languages are the first or only language for millions of people.
International development, humanitarian, and business communication that reaches African audiences needs translation into local languages, not only into the official language.
African Languages by Region
West Africa
Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Wolof, Bambara, Fulani, and Twi for Nigerian, Ghanaian, Senegalese, Ivorian, Malian, and wider West African markets.
Southern Africa
Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, and Shona for South African, Zimbabwean, and broader SADC market communications.
