Government and public sector translation. The bulk of our translation workload is centred on Government sector translation work. Our NAATI certified translators will investigate and fully understand the context of the message in relation to particular policy or initiative before launching into a translation. Errors such as translating “Department of Premier and Cabinet” into “Department of Premier and Wardrobe” will be avoided. Many Government departments like to have the work checked by a second independent translator to ensure that there are no errors; this is an option we provide. Many of our translators work in teams on these projects. This enables timely turn around times and a high quality level of translation through friendly and close collaboration.
Other specialist areas we work in are Translations for Search Engine Optimisation. Should you have the need to generate a list of terms and words in multiple languages, it is not as simple as translating each word. Context is paramount here. Without an understanding of the context and what it is you are trying to achieve, it would not be possible to have an effective translation created. Our translators are briefed and then conduct their own research to fully understand the purpose of the task and translate accordingly. This requires fuzzy logic, something a machine cannot do just yet. Our translators are experienced and have a proven track record in this space.
Social media translations for applications such as Facebook and WeChat are in our sweet spot of translation services. Both Apps now have over a billion users each worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of translation projects beyond advertising can Leba handle?
Leba isn’t limited to marketing-only: they handle translation for government and public-sector documents and communications. Their translators, many of whom are NAATI-certified, work to ensure not just literal translation but accurate context and tone.
Can Leba adapt social-media content (Facebook, WeChat, etc.) for different languages/communities?
Absolutely, Social-media translations are one of their “sweet spots.” Leba uses translators who are active social-media users and culturally aligned with the intended audience; they aim to create messages that feel natural, engaging, informal (when appropriate), and culturally relevant not stiff or literal.
They understand that tone, humor, and community norms vary widely across languages and communities, and their translation approach reflects that.
Do they offer typesetting for print or digital output in foreign languages?
Yes, as part of their translation and production services, Leba provides foreign-language typesetting for both print and digital media. This means after translation, they format the text appropriately, handle layout issues (which can vary widely depending on script and language), and produce materials that are ready for publication.
This is especially important when translating into languages with differing script directionality, character sets, or typography norms, ensuring the final output looks professional and reads correctly.
How does Leba ensure quality and accuracy for sensitive (e.g. government) translations?
For government and public-sector translation, Leba uses experienced NAATI-certified translators who don’t just translate; they investigate and understand the context and purpose of the document or message before translating. This helps avoid basic errors (e.g. awkward/funny mistranslations of department names).
Additionally, they offer double-checking / peer review (i.e. a second independent translator reviews the work) on many such projects, especially when accuracy and tone are critical.
