Entia, from South Africa, offered to do some translations for us. Her native languages are English and Afrikaans. Afrikaans is the third most spoken mother tongue in SA. It is a derivative of Dutch and originated in the 17th century after Dutch settlers colonized SA. That's why Entia can understand Dutch and we can understand Afrikaans!
