What Afrikaans captions look like

Example caption lines in Latin script, as they would sit on a clip.

Wag, nou kom die beste deel.

“Wait, now comes the best part.”

Niemand sê vir jou dit wanneer jy begin nie.

“Nobody tells you this when you start.”

Kyk tot aan die einde.

“Watch until the end.”

What good Afrikaans captions get right

✓Afrikaans uses a double negative (nie … nie), and captions keep both.
✓Diacritics like ê, ë and ô are kept as written.
✓Code-switching with English, common in South Africa, is transcribed as spoken.
