Government Translation Services

Our government translation services in Australia prioritise cultural appropriateness, accessibility, and effective delivery of information to culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to communication with these communities, so we take a holistic approach to each project.

We tailor our translation strategy to meet the specific needs of each project, which may include plain language editing, cultural adaptation, or community checking as necessary. Our goal is to ensure that each community understands the language used, that the information is delivered effectively, and that the language used is respectful.

The Karen Language

The Karen or Karenic languages are tonal languages spoken by about 4.5 million Karen people. They are not affiliated with any other language family within the Sino-Tibetan languages. The Karen languages have a subject-verb-object word order, which is uncommon among Sino-Tibetan languages and is likely due to influence from neighboring Mon and Tai languages.

The Karen script is used to write the Karen languages, which are divided into three main branches: Sgaw, Pwo, and Pa’O. Karenni and Kayan are also considered part of the Karen language family. While some linguists have suggested a Tibeto-Karen branch, this classification is no longer widely accepted. 

The Karen Community in Australia

The Karen people are an ethnic minority group from Myanmar who speak the Karen language. Many have resettled in Australia due to political unrest and persecution. Approximately 13,000 Karen speakers live in Australia, with the majority residing in Victoria.

Karen community organisations have been established to support their community and preserve their culture and language, while also advocating for their rights and needs. Karen language classes and Karen-language church services are available in some areas. The Karen people in Australia have successfully maintained their cultural identity while integrating into Australian society.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Karen language interpreter is someone who can translate between Karen and another language, typically English. The Karen people are an ethnic group from Myanmar, and their language is Tibeto-Burman with various dialects. These interpreters can help facilitate communication in settings like medical appointments, legal proceedings, business meetings, and social services, and they need to be familiar with both languages and cultural differences that could impact communication.

Karen is not a language spoken by a country, but rather a language is spoken by the Karen people who are an ethnic group mainly found in Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand. The Karen language is also known as Kayin or Kariang and is a member of the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is estimated that there are about 5-7 million Karen people worldwide, with the majority living in Myanmar.

NAATI is the national accreditation and standards body for translators and interpreters in Australia. NAATI accreditation recognises an individual’s competence to perform professional-level translation and interpreting tasks. A NAATI-accredited Karen language translator has passed the NAATI accreditation test for the Karen language and is recognised as competent in performing translation tasks between Karen and English at a professional level, ensuring accurate and high-quality translation services.

It is difficult to provide an exact number for how many people who speak the Karen language as there are several different Karen languages and dialects, and language use can also vary across different regions and generations. However, it is estimated that there are around 5-7 million Karen people worldwide, with the majority living in Myanmar. Many Karen people are bilingual and speak Burmese, Thai, or other languages depending on their country of residence.

It is advisable to engage the services of a proficient Karen language translator or a specialised translation agency to translate your English document to Karen. While online translation tools are available, it is not recommended to use them for crucial or official documents.

Karen language translation services in Australia are primarily used by the Karen community, which includes individuals, families, and organisations. These services may be utilised for translating official documents, medical forms, educational materials, or communication with government agencies and service providers. They may also be used for personal correspondence and cultural events. Furthermore, businesses or organisations may require a Karen language translator for communication with Karen-speaking clients, customers, or partners.

To obtain a NAATI-certified translation from Karen to English, you will need to locate a certified Karen language translator or translation company, submit the text to be translated, pay the necessary fees, and receive the completed document which will bear a certification stamp and signature from a NAATI-certified translator. It’s important to note that NAATI certification is widely recognised by government agencies in Australia as valid for official purposes.

The price for a Karen language translator may depend based on various factors such as the intricacy of the material, the turnaround time, and the translator’s proficiency level. Typically, translators for the Karen language will have different pricing models, which may include charging by word, page, or hour.

S’gaw Karen and Karen are two related but distinct languages spoken by the Karen people in Southeast Asia. A S’gaw Karen translator specializes in translating between S’gaw Karen and another language, while a Karen translator specializes in translating between any of the Karen languages and another language. The Karen language family is quite diverse, with many different dialects and sub-dialects, so it is also possible to find translators who specialize in specific Karen dialects, such as Pwo Karen, Pa’O Karen, or Bwe Karen.
