Academic programmes

We offer state of the art training to prospective translators. This includes training in the use of translation technology in translation practice (such as computer assisted translation tools, translation memory systems and electronic corpora), as well as training in localisation (which is the translation of (usually software) products for the local market). With us you can do translation into and out of any two of the languages offered by the School of Languages, provided that the particular language combination can be accommodated during any given year. The School of Languages offers the following languages: Afrikaans; Dutch; English; French; German; Greek; Hebrew; IsiNdebele; IsiZulu; Sepedi; Setswana. By cooperating with colleagues from other higher education institutions and colleagues working as language practitioners, we can also accommodate (on request) those students translating into other languages not offered by UP.
