About the Fante language.
Fante (Mfantse) is spoken along the coast of Ghana's Central Region and in parts of the Western Region, including Cape Coast, Elmina, Saltpond and Winneba, and by Ghanaian communities abroad. It is one of the main varieties of Akan, alongside Asante and Akuapem Twi.
Fante has its own written standard, with spelling and vocabulary that differ from Twi, so a Twi translation does not always read naturally to Fante readers. It is written in the Latin alphabet with the letters ɛ and ɔ. Our Akan and Twi pages cover the other varieties.
Ghanaian official documents are issued in English. Fante work is usually church and community material, health information, cultural content, personal letters and statements, and interpreting.
We translate in both directions, including Fante into English. Ghanaian names are often spelled in more than one way, so we keep them consistent with the passport or other documents you supply. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
