So in 2011, at the age of 20, fuelled by my father's story of struggle and ambition, I founded EthnoLink 🎉 — today one of Australia's largest translation companies. I was determined to build a company that would make a difference in Australia, if not the world. 🌏 One about connection ✅ Not about conflict ❌ And for the past nine years, our team at EthnoLink have been helping connect Australia through language. 🏛️ We do this by working with leading Federal, State and Local Government clients, Not-for-profits and Corporates to provide world-class, professional translation services. ✅ We translate between English and all languages, including Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, Greek and even Tigrinya and Hazaragi. The types of content we translate include: ✅ written documents ✅ videos ✅ audio ... and basically any type of content you can think of!💡 And in doing so, we help organisations connect with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities and tell their story or their message. This in turn helps to empower non-English speakers to make informed decisions about their life. ⭐
