Hi Gabriel,

welcome!

I can't say anything about user interest in Afrikaans specifically, but
the project is always interested in expanding its list of available
languages.

To hear from users, you may need to ask around locally or maybe on the
user mailing list, in the user chat or on the forums (but given that all
of these are in English, users you can find there are not representative
of the target audience).

About the time frame: long, if you aim for completion (possibly months
if you do it in your free time as a single person who is not a
professional translator)

Inkscape contains many specialized graphics terms, and many terms that
only make sense when you know where in the interface they are being used.

It is possible (and recommended), however, to start out by focusing on
immediately visible strings, that would already bring great benefit with
a lot less effort.

There is no threshold for how much of the interface must be translated
for the translation to be available, so users can see strings in their
own language from the first string.

You can find more information about translating Inkscape and all
relevant links to the Wiki pages that explain the translation process in
more detail at:

Kind Regards
  Maren
