Real-Time Simultaneous Interpretation and Afrikaans Translation

As global organizations expand across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, the demand for bilingual language access is at an all-time high. An Afrikaans interpreter and translator solution allows speakers and audience members to communicate fluently in real time, whether hosting an internal town hall, international conference, webinar, or training session.

Meetings and events are more engaging and inclusive when everyone speaks the same language, but that is not always possible. Human interpreters and translators are an option, but the high cost and logistical complexity limits their use to big budget events and large organizations.

Wordly solves the multilingual collaboration challenge by providing an on-demand, AI-powered platform that delivers high quality simultaneous Afrikaans audio interpretation, translated subtitles, and instant transcripts. Attendees simply scan a QR code or click a link on their smartphone, tablet, or laptop and select Afrikaans audio or Afrikaans captions. Wordly eliminates the high hourly per language fees, scheduling delays, and equipment headaches of traditional human interpreters.

Offering translation services is a great way to increase engagement, productivity, and inclusivity across your organization.

Why Afrikaans Interpretation and Translation is Important

With millions of native Afrikaans speakers worldwide, Afrikaans is an important language for businesses and non-profits as well as government agencies, schools, and universities. In order to ensure your audience understand everything being presented, and you meet applicable language access compliance requirements, it is important to offer live bidirectional Afrikaans interpretation (e.g., English to Afrikaans and Afrikaans to English; Afrikaans to French and French to Afrikaans; Afrikaans to Japanese and Japanese to Afrikaans, etc.). This leads to a much more inclusive and engaging experience for attendees at conferences, internal meetings, training sessions, and meetings where important information is presented. This benefits customers, employees, partners, and other important members of your community (parents, teachers, students, residents, etc.).

‍Key benefits of providing an Afrikaans Interpreter:

• Higher participation from Afrikaans speakers – Make it easy for Afrikaans-speaking attendees to join, understand, and contribute

• More inclusive, accessible meetings – Everyone can listen or read in the language that works best for them

• Consistent messaging – Presenters speak once; Wordly delivers the same message in Afrikaans and dozens of other languages

The Wordly Advantage

Wordly uses multiple highly specialized AI models built specifically for language interpretation to ensure we deliver high quality translation and captions every time. We do not rely on generative AI models for translation or captions, and we do not use open models which would expose conversations to public LLMs. We constantly test which models provide the best results for each language and also optimize models for different use cases, including speech to text and text to speech. We have been building, refining, and scaling our AI platform since 2017 and have delivered over 1 billion minutes of live interpretation, proving our solution is very reliable and scalable.
