Translation Services
Ariana is a licensed translator with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori for both written texts/projects, as well as real time translation. We’re proud to collaborate with Donovan Te Ahunui Farnham, who is also a licensed translator.
This means we can offer both translation (English to Māori and/or Māori to English) and proofreading/quality assurance services for the same project - which can save our clients time and simplify the process of finding support.
Ariana and Te Ahunui have experience translating content in a wide range of contexts - from policy, strategy and other technical documents to children's books, content for information panels, surveys and more.
