Afrikaans uses Latin while Arabic uses Arabic. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it. Arabic also reads right-to-left, so the translated text appears mirrored compared with the Afrikaans input.
Afrikaans belongs to the Indo-European family while Arabic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Afrikaans follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Arabic follows verb-subject-object (VSO). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
Afrikaans: Approximately 7.2 million first-language speakers as of the latest estimates, total 13 million speakers worldwide Arabic: Native speakers number approximately 310 million and 422 million in total.
