Community Review

Targeted Localisation for Oceania & the Pacific Diaspora


What is Community Review?

Standard translation focuses on grammar and idioms. Community review focuses on accessibility and trust. Native speakers, local advocates, and community leaders evaluate translations for cultural dissonance, adjusting appropriate literacy levels, and local terminology.

Our Language Approach

We tailor our review process to the specific type of language being translated. The two languages listed below are part of our capabilities.

Indigenous Pacific Languages

Reviewed by community elders and cultural leaders to meet cultural etiquette and proper language registers. Examples include:

  • Fijian
  • Gagana Sāmoa
View all supported languages →

Creoles & Pidgins

Reviewed for everyday colloquial vernacular to avoid sounding artificially formal or bureaucratic. Examples include:

  • Tok Pisin
  • Hawaiian Pidgin
View all supported languages →

Non-Indigenous Languages of Oceania

Reviewed to ensure terminology reflects local Pacific realities, not European or Asian standards. Examples include:

  • Fiji Hindi
  • French (Pacific territories)
View all supported languages →

Asian Diaspora Languages

Reviewed to ensure materials concur with established migrant communities across the Pacific region. Examples include:

  • Tagalog
  • Japanese
View all supported languages →
