Request a quoteWhat non-native translators and machine translation miss in Palauan
Many teams speak good Palauan and AI tools translate in seconds. Yet in business, legal and medical Palauan texts, non-native translators and machine translation make the kind of mistakes that cost you credibility or legal validity. A few examples we prevent:
Colonial loanwords
Voorbeeld:Palauan carries loanwords from English, Japanese, German and Spanish, and a source text sometimes spells these inconsistently.
Onze aanpak:We keep a terminology list per project and align the spelling with the current standard.
A complex verb system
Voorbeeld:The Austronesian verb system uses extensive prefixes, suffixes and possessive marking, so a word-for-word translation reads as unnatural.
Onze aanpak:A translator who knows the language rewrites for idiomatic Palauan or English with the right structure.
Orthographic variation
Voorbeeld:Older documents use a pre-1970 colonial spelling that differs from the current standardised Latin script.
Onze aanpak:We recognise the older orthography and convert it to the modernised spelling where that is appropriate.
Verifying terms and names
Voorbeeld:Because the pool of translators is limited, checking terminology and proper names calls for consultation and time.
Onze aanpak:We allow room for verification and reflect that in the lead time we confirm in the quote.
Waar Palauan wordt gesproken
Palauan is spoken mainly in the Republic of Palau itself, and beyond it by diaspora communities in the United States and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere. It is a small language with a limited pool of professional translators, which means terminology and proper names often call for verification. We match spelling and register to your source document and to the authority that will receive the translation, and confirm that choice up front in the quote.

- Northern Mariana Islandsa few hundred speakersa small community on Saipan
- United States~4,000-7,000 speakersdiaspora in Guam, Hawaii and Oregon
