Akan Translations (AK)
We provide the highest-quality Akan translations for your business’s needs to access and succeed across Akan-speaking markets.
Professional And Accurate Localization Solutions
The Akan language, a Central Tano language, is the principal native language spoken by over 80% of Ghana’s population, and parts of Côte d’Ivoire. The language was also introduced to the Caribbean and South America, mostly in Suriname and Jamaica. It also migrated to other regions including the eastern part of the Ivory and some areas in Togo. With an enriched repertoire of traditional drama, folk tales, songs, literature, and proverbs, the Akan culture incorporates a wide range of unique and artistic verbal and written expressions. For Akan translations, CSOFT understands the diverse dialects spoken in different regions, which is why linguistic accuracy, in-depth cultural understanding, subject matter expertise, and localization best practices are all necessary components in ensuring success for any product or service entering the local market. Additionally, high-quality, consistent localization solutions for the Akan language require advanced AI translation technology combined with native, in-country linguists for a quick turnaround time.
Akan Dialects
There are over 40% of the Ghanaian population who speak various dialects of the Akan language. Across all regions that speak Akan, four dialects have been developed, each with its orthographies, including Fante, Bono, Asante, and Akuapem. These mutually intelligible dialects also known as Twi, became accessible in written form to all Akan speakers in 1978 by the Akan Orthography Committee (AOC). Whether you are seeking Akan to English translations or vice-versa, it is essential to ensure the cultural appropriateness and local sophistication of every project entering or expanding from or to the Akan-speaking market.
Through our in-country, subject matter expert linguists, and with over 20 years of experience, CSOFT understands the importance of distinguishing different dialects of Akan depending on the project.
