Afrikaans grew out of Dutch and is one of South Africa's most widely spoken languages, especially across the Western Cape and the platteland. Most translation apps treat it as an afterthought; this one handles real spoken Afrikaans on-device, with nothing leaving your phone.

On the road

Karoo farm stays, Stellenbosch markets, and the small towns where English isn't a given.

Good to know

Afrikaans is a smaller-resource language — try the free trial on your own phrases before paying to confirm it works for you.

How Afrikaans translation works on-device

1

You speak

The app transcribes your speech locally — the audio never leaves your phone's memory.

2

It translates

An on-device neural model translates to Afrikaans (or from Afrikaans to your language) with no server round-trip.

3

It speaks Afrikaans

Your phone speaks the translation aloud using its built-in Afrikaans voices, where your device has them. Recognition and translation are always on-device.

Afrikaans translation — common questions

Does the Afrikaans translation work without internet?
Yes — completely. Speech recognition, translation, and spoken output for Afrikaans all run on your phone. Airplane mode, foreign SIM-card limbo, basement, mountain, mid-flight: it all works, because nothing is sent anywhere.
Is my spoken Afrikaans audio uploaded or stored?
No. Audio is processed in memory on your device and discarded after the translation plays. No audio, text, or metadata is transmitted or written to disk. The app has no account system and no telemetry.
Do I need a subscription to translate Afrikaans?
No. The app is a free download with a full-featured trial. One single payment unlocks unlimited use for the lifetime of your phone — no subscription, no renewal, no expiry.
Does Afrikaans speak the translation aloud?
Yes — spoken Afrikaans output uses your phone's own text-to-speech voices, so how it sounds depends on the Afrikaans voices installed on your device. Per-speaker voice cloning is reserved for the core languages; for Afrikaans, recognition and translation always run fully offline, and you can hear exactly how it sounds on your phone during the free trial.
