Pretoria's Languages & Their National Reach
While we translate all official languages, these three dominate Pretoria's communication needs while also providing extensive national coverage:
- Sepedi (19.4% in Pretoria) - The most spoken first language in Tshwane, with dominant presence in Limpopo (55.5%) and significant usage in Gauteng (12.6%) and Mpumalanga (10.3%).
- Afrikaans (18.4% in Pretoria) - Crucial for legal and administrative documents in Pretoria, while also being dominant in the Western Cape (41.2%) and Northern Cape (54.6%), with substantial presence nationwide.
- Setswana (14.7% in Pretoria) - Significant presence in western Tshwane municipalities, with majority usage in North West (72.8%) and Northern Cape (35.7%), plus strong representation in Gauteng (10.4%).
We also regularly translate Xitsonga and isiZulu (8% each in Pretoria) for cross-provincial communications, particularly with Mpumalanga, Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal.
Strategic Value: By focusing on Pretoria's key languages, you're also building communication assets that serve broader regional and national audiences across multiple provinces.
