The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has been a valued client of Ethnolink for many years and we have worked on a number of projects to ensure that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is accessible for culturally and linguistically diverse Australians. On this occasion, Ethnolink was engaged to help NDIS communicate with LGBTIQA+ participants and communities — here's our solution.
We were proud to work with the Attorney-General's Department to assist the important cause of encouraging culturally and linguistically diverse Australians to share their stories with the Disability Royal Commission. Take a look at the videos we created.

Swahili, also known by the name Kiswahili, is an official language of Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya, and is used as a lingua franca throughout East Africa.
People who speak Swahili as their sole mother tongue are usually referred to as Waswahili. This name refers to the language that they speak and does not describe any particular ethnic or tribal group.
The Swahili language is also spoken in eastern African countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Comoros Islands.
Swahili is also spoken by smaller numbers in Burundi, Rwanda, Northern Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique.
You can send us your documents in whatever format you have - a PDF, Word file, scan, or a photo. As long as the text is readable and clear, our professional translators can translate it for you. But before that happens, our Translation Strategists will analyse them and provide you with a personalised quote. If you have any specific requirements, let us know and we will do our absolute best to accommodate.

Yes! Modern standard Swahili is based on Kiunguja, the dialect spoken in Zanzibar Town, but there are numerous dialects of Swahili, some of which are mutually unintelligible, and others are not.
Talk to our Translation Strategy team to discuss what dialects you need to include in your project to reach your target audience.
