Indigenous Languages
Languages in Motion provides translation of nearly every Indigenous dialect spoken in Canada. Translating materials into Indigenous languages brings harmony and communication to the communities!
Did you know that there are over 60 Indigenous languages spoken in Canada today?
At Languages in Motion, we believe it is important to understand, recognize and celebrate these languages as part of Canada’s diverse and rich heritage and culture.
Did you know that Indigenous language translation is much more complex than translating into and from other common languages?
The providers for Indigenous translation are extremely varied in languages and dialects in addition to work methods and applications. There are many unique elements that should be taken into consideration for projects of this nature which can present unique challenges as summarized below.
