Book Dash book translations 2024

We are proud to share that we have just completed and published 56 new Book Dash book translations to our website. Our growing catalogue now has a total of 817 books available across eleven of the official South African Languages.

Children from diverse backgrounds need books that are equally diverse. They need books that speak to the realities around them. That is why, with the help of our partners, we translate Book Dash books into different South African languages – from isiXhosa to Sesotho! 

Because the books are open-licensed, it means that anyone can download a book and translate it into more languages, too.

These titles are now available in all or some of the 11 South African languages, enjoy!
