There is currently no NAATI translator certification available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. As such, our translators are instead assessed for previous professional and community experience in translation services, as well as subject matter expertise.
Translation timelines can range from several days to several months, depending on the size of the project and the services you opt for. In general, however, translations for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages will take a longer time to complete than a translation in, for example, Chinese. This is because there is a much more limited availability of translators in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages.
For more detailed insights into how long your Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander translation project might take, chat to one of our Account Managers.
