Translation
Translation entails converting a written text in one language (the source language) into an equivalent text in another language (the target language).
I am a qualified*, professional and accredited translator** and will convert your Afrikaans text into English or vice versa. I can also assist with sourcing translators for other language combinations.

Localisation
Translation is one of the steps of localisation. Localisation is the act of preparing your product or text for a local market or many markets (which is called "Internationalisation" or "Globalisation").
It is most often applied to:
-
Websites
-
Software
-
Brands and packaging.
It might involve adjusting the obvious things like phone numbers, currencies, measurements etc. or involve more complex issues of meeting local legal and financial requirements or adjusting images so that they don't cause offence to local markets.
