What to know about Translators
Australia is one of the most multilingual countries in the developed world. The Department of Home Affairs, citing the 2021 census, says more than 5.5 million people here speak a language other than English at home, that Australians claim over 250 ancestries, and that more than 350 languages are spoken across the country. Every one of those communities generates written work that has to cross a language line: contracts, product labels, training material, tenders, websites, patient information and school notices.
