Currently the Afrikaans dictionary is not complete and therefore missing words are stilled borrowe from other languages. A pager is not used in South Africa where Afrikaans is spoken. However if an Afrikaans speaking person must refer to a pager, he would probably say "pager". If one would roughly translate it, it would be translated a selfoon. That is the same word used for a cellular phone. However an official translation can also be borrowed from the closes language, Dutch. In Dutch the word for pager exists in the Dutch dictionary as semafoon.(say: samaa-fuwan).
