Businesses have realized that they need to reach markets that communicate in other languages. Bilingual websites and translated business proposals are some of the most effective means to reach untapped customer bases, build customer loyalty and ultimately increase revenue. Translating is also not just a matter of knowing two languages, the translator must also be able to write, understand grammar, check spelling, understand semantics and cultural differences. There are many online translating tools available but they do not provide the accuracy that a human translator does. Afrikaans is a West Germanic language, spoken natively in South Africa, Namibia and to a lesser extent in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Although Afrikaans adopted words from languages such as Malay, Portuguese, the Bantu languages, and the Khoisan languages, an estimated 90 to 95 percent of Afrikaans vocabulary is ultimately of Dutch origin. It has the widest geographical and racial distribution of all the official languages of South Africa, and is widely spoken and understood as a second or third language. In neighbouring Namibia, Afrikaans is widely spoken as a second language and used as lingua franca, while as a native language it is spoken in 11 percent of households, mainly concentrated in the capital Windhoek and the southern regions of Hardap and Karas.
