The process of converting text or speech from the Setswana language into the English language allows for cross-linguistic communication. An instance of this would be rendering a Setswana legal document accessible to an English-speaking legal professional.
This linguistic transfer is important for various reasons, including facilitating international business, promoting cultural exchange, and aiding in academic research. Historically, it has played a significant role in preserving and disseminating Setswana literature and knowledge to a wider global audience. It assists in making information available to those who do not understand Setswana language.
