Description

Although Papua New Guinea is the most multilingual country on earth, the development and use of interpreters and translators in the public service have been remarkably inefficient and unsystematic. This is due both to the legacy of colonial rule by monolingual Australians and to a lack of understanding of the different expectations of interpreters in Melanesian and Western cultures. Greater cultural sensitivity and better professional training are needed if the standard of interpreting and translation is to be improved sufficiently to permit access to government services by all citizens.
