About Our Translation Tool


Afrikaans na Engels - Our Afrikaans to English Translation Tool is powered by the Google Translation API. To use it, simply type in Afrikaans in the left-hand text area and click on the "Translate" button. Our app will then translate your Afrikaans word, phrase, or sentence into English.

The translation takes just a few seconds and supports up to 500 characters per request. Although the translation may not be 100% accurate, it provides a basic idea, and with a few modifications, it can be quite accurate. This translation software is evolving day by day, and Google engineers are continuously working on it to make Afrikaans to English translations more accurate and intelligent. Hopefully, it will one day produce near-perfect translations!

The Afrikaans language is widely spoken, with more than 23 million people around the world speaking it. For Afrikaans speakers whose English is not strong, translating from Afrikaans to English can be challenging. Many websites offer translation services for a fee. While it’s a good idea to pay for translating large amounts of text, such as books or articles, or for professional purposes, there’s no need to pay for commonly used phrases, greetings, or for other informal uses. For these purposes, our tool can be quite helpful.

You can copy the translated text and share it on social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter, or email it to friends or family.

If you have any suggestions or come across a particularly amusing translation, please share it with us on our Facebook page. And finally, don’t forget to give us a like and share our page with your loved ones on Facebook.
