About Our Pacific Language Translation Services
Aotearoa New Zealand's reliance on health messaging during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of producing clear, easily understandable Pacific language translations.
Our Pacific communities are more likely to engage when they receive essential messaging in their own heritage languages. If you need something translated, please get in touch. Our team of experienced translators and peer reviewers are ready to translate your document, video or audio file into our 9 different Pacific languages today. We also have some capacity for additional Pacific languages such as Papua New Guinea (some dialects), Hawaiian and a few other languages. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Pasifika language experts, PEC (now CPL), guided us through the translation process and provided expert advice where needed.
