Magnify Your Reach in Cape Town and the Cape Provinces
Welcome to our translation services page for Cape Town where we put you in touch with the two million Capetonians who speak Afrikaans or isiXhosa as their home language.
For community-specific documents, translating into either language will potentially more than double your audience, reaching more than twice as many Capetonians in their language of choice across the city. Unlike Johannesburg or Pretoria, almost all of Cape Town can be reached through just two additional local languages. Accurate and informative translations show respect for local cultures and opens the door to deeper connections with communities in Cape Town. It allows you to share your story and values with more people, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation.
As we specialise in just the 11 South African languages, we can also help you reach communities in the rest of South Africa. Find out more on our home page or visit our FAQ page to see which languages are most prevalent in your province.
