Australia imposed several lockdowns in 2020 in response to Covid-19, most notably six months’ worth of various stay-at-home orders in Melbourne between March and October. At this writing, Victoria had just entered a five-day lockdown following the one in Greater Sydney, which was extended to, at least, July 30, 2021.
On top of the general business slowdown, translator and interpreter testing also took a hit. According to Australia’s certifying authority for linguists, NAATI, a significant number of certification exams were canceled or rescheduled, including more than 200 Certified Translator tests between March and September 2020.
NAATI, which stands for the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters, responded by accelerating the adoption of the online testing model it had in the works. By June 30, 2021, the company had delivered over 1,700 tests, including 952 Certified Translator and 597 Certified Provisional Interpreter tests.
