    An analysis of the challenges with respect to attaining equivalence in translation of literature pertaining to Sexually Transmitted Diseases from English into Xitsonga
    (2012) Hlongwani, Given Jacqe; Alexander, Neville
    Translation has been a practice that has assisted many languages the world over to develop to become languages of power. The purpose of this project was to elicit some translation challenges that translators face when translating from English into Xitsonga. It is not easy to translate a document in which the domain has not been explored because the translator has to juggle with terminology which does not exist in the indigenous language. In this project, I have made an attempt to use different theories that can guide us when we encounter a lemma which does not exist in the target language. The challenges that are faced by one indigenous language in South Africa in language development through translation are the same as for most other indigenous languages.
