How much does a translation cost?

You can view our pricing schedule online at our pricing and payment page. The cost of translation is dependent on a number of factors including the number of words, the complexity of the text and the urgency of the project. Even though most language service providers in Australia refuse to disclose their pricing schedule to clients, we feel that our pricing is very competitive and as such we are more than happy to provide this information to you.

Our professional translators have a breadth of experience across many sectors with projects delivered for the following clients.

“We’ve been working with EthnoLink since 2016 to improve the accessibility of information for CALD Australians.
Our work has helped the CALD community engage with the Federal Government in order to develop legislation using co-design as the basis, giving a real voice to CALD Australians living with disability.
Working with the team at EthnoLink is a pleasure. They take the time to understand our project objectives and tailor their translation services appropriately to ensure that our project outcomes are exceeded. The team are responsive, easy to work with and flexible.
We have run several forums with our members whereby we have ‘tested’ the translations delivered and overwhelmingly, the feedback has been excellent.“

Dwayne Cranfield, CEO, National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA)

Case Study:
Jean Hailes

Jean Hailes is a one of Australia’s leading and most trusted women’s health organisations.

Jean Hailes was in the process of producing health promotion material and needed a trusted partner to assist with their CALD engagement strategy.

The team at EthnoLink spoke at length with Jean Hailes to understand their needs and tailored an approach accordingly.

EthnoLink was able to recommend languages for translation tailored for the campaign.

The translations were well received and are publicly available on the Jean Hailes website.

From brochures, flyers, online forms, websites and other communications materials, we have the tools, and access to the right professional translators to ensure that your community translations are accurate, high-quality, and delivered before the deadline.

Did you know…
In 2016, 20.8% of Australians spoke a language other than English at home.

Our Mission

Connection is at the heart of humanity. Language creates a barrier to connection. When Australians can’t access information in their preferred language, the fabric of society slowly begins to erode; connection is lost.

We’re on a mission to make Australia more connected!
We do this through culturally appropriate community translation services.
Join us on this movement; together we can promote harmony.

What is Health Translation?

Translation in the health industry can sometimes mean life and death. As such, accuracy is very crucial.
