Great Service, Quick Turnaround, Positive Experience
Great, responsive communication from Melis at Absolute Translations. As I'm on a v. limited budget, I chose to translate the document in question myself (being fluent in both languages). Absolute were happy to proof and certify my translation, no quibbles, allowing me to remain solvent! I am very grateful for the service that was provided; quick turnaround and I was able to collect in person at their London offices. Now, let's hope HM Gov accept!

Afrikaans is a cross-border language, spoken by large communities in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
Afrikaans has over seven million native speakers, despite being one of the world’s youngest official languages.
Afrikaans is the mother tongue of many South Africans. Like several other African languages, it is an official language in Namibia and Zimbabwe, and a co-official language in Botswana.
It is widely spoken by groups spanning the full social spectrum, from the poor to the rich, from rural to urban communities, and by both the uneducated and the more educated.
Although Afrikaans used to be referred to as “Cape Dutch” because it originated as an off-shoot from the Dutch language, Afrikaans is recognised as a language distinct from Dutch, with which it is still sometimes confused.
In fact, modern-day Dutch speakers find it slightly difficult to understand as there are some major differences between the two languages such as grammar and spelling.
Our Afrikaans Transcription Services range from a same-day delivery for Afrikaans transcriptions of personal documents, to really speedy turnarounds for bigger projects including outreach work.

To make your transcribed content more accessible and searchable we can time-code your transcript based on the intervals you specify.

When transcribing Afrikaans it is important to hire a native speaking transcriptionist to ensure they are accurately transcribing/translating the words as the original speaker intended them.
