Arabic uses Arabic while Afrikaans uses Latin. 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 reads right-to-left while Afrikaans reads left-to-right, so the direction of the text flips during translation.
Arabic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic family while Afrikaans belongs to the Indo-European 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.
Arabic follows verb-subject-object (VSO) order while Afrikaans follows subject-verb-object (SVO). 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.
Arabic: Native speakers number approximately 310 million and 422 million in total. Afrikaans: Approximately 7.2 million first-language speakers as of the latest estimates, total 13 million speakers worldwide
