Expert African Language Translation

Ulatus' Afrikaans translation and localization services provide you an affordable, fast, and accurate translation of your message in 200+ languages. Whether you are a startup planning an entry into the South African market or pursuing higher education but need your degrees and other applications translated to Afrikaans, or you just need your immigration applications translated from Afrikaans to your desired language, we've got you covered.

Afrikaans is a member of the Indo-European group of languages. It is considered as Low Franconia West Germanic due to its origin from the Dutch. There are over 7 million people who consider Afrikaans as their native tongue living majorly in South Africa and Namibia. However, smaller communities of Afrikaans speakers are also found in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Australia, United States, and the UK.

Before the 1830s, there were three distinct Afrikaans dialects: The Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and Northern Cape dialects. However, a dominant, standardized Afrikaans eliminated most of the subtle differences, hence making the language highly centralized, easy to learn, and translate.

Nevertheless, it becomes difficult if you are managing multiple large scale language translation projects to or from Afrikaans. Hence, you will need the services of a professional Afrikaans translation company with access to a large pool of experienced translators with diverse specialized skills and cutting-edge technology to handle your translation projects.

For instance, you'd need a bilingual translator with specialist skill in Finance to translate your financial document from Afrikaans to English. But, the same translator will struggle to translate Life Science terminologies, thereby affecting the quality and meaning of the document.

At Ulatus, your projects are handled by subject matter experts with an average of 10 years of experience in your field. And hence, your financial document will be translated by an expert translator with masters or PhD in banking and finance, and not anyone else. This is our quality control measure that ensures 100% accuracy in translation and localization of your document.

Our translators are native Afrikaans speakers with a proficiency in your desired languages. We choose from our pool of 3,000+ translators only those linguists who understand the culture of both the source and target languages so that the original intent, tone, and message of your content is not lost in translation.

"When we approached Ulatus, we initially asked for literal translation. But when the authors reviewed the translation style, they wanted the text to be more fluent. So right in the middle of the project, Ulatus changed the style from literal to paraphrasing. We are so thankful to Ulatus for accommodating this change."
