Africa has a surface area of 30.3 million km², thus making her the third largest continent of our planet only after Asia and America. Africa is approximately three times as big as Europe. Africa is remarkable for her countless tribes, the legacy of colonialism and the consequences of the poverty on the majority of her population..

The African continent is not only rich in contrasting cultures, but she possesses an immense Language Plurality. Boasting of more than 2,000 different Languages, Africa has the highest language density among the continents. Many Languages have only been handed down orally from generation to generation, and have thus gradually become partially extinct due to the emigration of the younger generation..

One of the aims of Intertranslation is the propagation of the numerous cultures of Africa, hence specialising in the area of African Languages.
