Language Services also provide interpreting services if and when necessary.
It is the task of Language Services to monitor the implementation of the Western Cape Language Policy. This policy ensures the equal promotion of the three official languages of the Western Cape: Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa.
Language Services supports the Western Cape Language Committee (WCLC) in performing its duties. They do administrative tasks on behalf of the Committee and manage projects for them.
Each department of the Provincial Government has to have its own language specialists, according to the Western Cape Language Policy.
