Sydney NAATI Translator Services for Businesses & Government Organisations

Translations for businesses

If you are a Sydney business, who is either setting up business contracts with overseas clients for the first time or has a regular relationship with overseas businesses or you are a business which mainly operates overseas but has set up a trading relationship with a Melbourne business, there will be many documents you will need to share in order to communicate successfully with your overseas partners. The sorts of documents that may require accurate, certified NAATI translations may be any of the following:

• video subtitling of information about your product;
• translations of communication materials such as video and audio conversations;
• translations of promotional and marketing materials like flyers, brochures and business cards;
• legal documents such as contracts
• translations of any media releases related to your business;
• translation and localisation of your website and app.

Translations by government organisations

The New South Wales government in Sydney provides a free online language translation service which automatically translates content into a number of popular languages but can’t always be depended upon if complete accuracy is required. However, if you want a completely accurate translation you will need to use a human NAATI credentialed translator who can provide a high quality translation which meets government standards.

Document translations and face to face interpreting

If you require a translation of a personal document into English from another language, or even from English into another language there are service centres spread throughout Sydney that can offer this service. You could choose Aussie Translations for your document translations if you prefer.

For face to face interpreting

This is available in Sydney too, either directly through Aussie Translations or at the Multicultural NSW Language Services Unit, which provides on-site, face-to-face interpreters 24/7. The New South Wales Government has a fixed policy regarding hiring only NAATI credentialed interpreters and translators to undertake translation work in government departments such as in health services. It prefers the use of human translators because they are still far more accurate than any machine translating tools. It considers that all translations need to take into account the following features which machine translations are still unable to do with complete accuracy:

• Handle complaints promptly;
• Provide interpreters with formal identification badges;
• Respect all interpreters and translators
• Provide the required support to translators and interpreters:
• ensuring their safety
• offering constructive feedback
• provide professional training and development.
• always proactive in communication
• transparency and fairness for job allocation.

Interpreting is available in Perth, either directly through Aussie Translations, or through the Western Australian Institute of Translators and Interpreters, who provides professionals in most languages including First Nation languages like Walmajarri and Tigrinya. These services only provide NAATI credentialed interpreters and translators to undertake translation work in government departments and agencies such as in health, education and social services. Most people or agencies requiring a translator or interpreter prefer to use a human translator because they are still far more accurate than any online machine translating tool. It is important that the correct language is used in any translation or interpreting situation such as:

• use of the right cultural language that suits a speaker of that language;
• understanding the variation in language and dialect between the pair of languages;
• providing the true meaning of a text after a translation and not just a less accurate word to word translation or interpreting;
• considering the linguistic preferences of a language group.

Aussie Translations have skilled NAATI translators and interpreters who recognise the cultural differences between a Spanish speaker from Spain and one from Colombia.

There is always the possibility of litigation against a government agency or other translation provider if the translation or interpreting is not accurate. That is why most government departments, agencies and even businesses prefer a NAATI credentialed translator or interpreter particularly if there is a possibility misinformation could be conveyed if the translation or interpreting is not accurate.

Aussie Translations in Perth can offer a translation and interpreting service for government departments in many languages and for many purposes such as for:

• training and education information;
• health information such as guidelines for flu vaccinations and Covid-19
• information for small and large businesses such as federal and state tax regulations
• driver’s licence information and how to register a vehicle with the Department of Transport, Western Australia
• Any information and documentation requested by the Department of Justice in Perth
