From time to time, we receive requests for the translation of
documents into uncommon languages.
In 2005, Mary Mackillop Museum commissioned us to translate and
typeset a brochure into 33 languages. The majority of these were
commonly requested languages such as French, German, Chinese,
Vietnamese and Japanese etc. However, a number of rarer languages
were also required. These included Gaelic, Maori, Swahili, Tongan,
Maltese, Tatum, Samoan and Armenian. The challenge represented
by this project was the sourcing of translators with experience
translating religious text. The six panel brochure included prayers
which are notoriously difficult to interpret into other languages.
For the majority of languages, the solution was to employ the
services of translators who were practicing members of the Catholic
Church. Following the initial rounds of translation, the documents
were delivered to Catholic priests serving the respective dioceses
around the world for proofreading.
Below are some examples of the languages:
Maori and Maltese
Gaelic and Armenian
