City of Armadale
The City of Armadale is a local government area in the south-eastern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth, about 28 kilometres (17.4 mi) southeast of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 560 square kilometres (216 sq mi), much of which is state forest rising into the Darling Scarp to the east, and had a population of almost 80,000 as at the 2016 Census.
City of Armadale History
Prior to European settlement, the area now known as the City of Armadale was part of the land that was occupied by the Aboriginal Noongar people.
Prior to 1894, the area was part of the Canning Road District.

Swedish is a language spoken natively by 9.6 million people, predominantly in Sweden, and in parts of Finland, where it has equal legal standing with Finnish. It is largely mutually intelligible with Norwegian and to some extent with Danish, although the degree of mutual intelligibility is largely dependent on the dialect and accent of the speaker.
Modern Swedish (Swedish: nysvenska) begins with the advent of the printing press and the European Reformation. After assuming power, the new monarch Gustav Vasa ordered a Swedish translation of the Bible. The New Testament was published in 1526, followed by a full Bible translation in 1541, usually referred to as the Gustav Vasa Bible, a translation deemed so successful and influential that, with revisions incorporated in successive editions, it remained the most common Bible translation until 1917. The main translators were Laurentius Andreæ and the brothers Laurentius and Olaus Petri.
The Vasa Bible is often considered to be a reasonable compromise between old and new; while not adhering to the colloquial spoken language of its day, it was not overly conservative in its use of archaic forms. It was a major step towards a more consistent Swedish orthography. It established the use of the vowels "å", "ä", and "ö", and the spelling "ck" in place of "kk", distinguishing it clearly from the Danish Bible, perhaps intentionally, given the ongoing rivalry between the countries. All three translators came from central Sweden which is generally seen as adding specific Central Swedish features to the new Bible.
Though it might seem as if the Bible translation set a very powerful precedent for orthographic standards, spelling actually became more inconsistent during the remainder of the century. It was not until the 17th century that spelling began to be discussed, around the time when the first grammars were written. Capitalization during this time was not standardized. It depended on the authors and their background. Those influenced by German capitalized all nouns, while others capitalized more sparsely. It is also not always apparent which letters are capitalized owing to the Gothic or blackletter typeface which was used to print the Bible. This typeface was in use until the mid-18th century, when it was gradually replaced with a Latin typeface (often antiqua).
Some important changes in sound during the Modern Swedish period were the gradual assimilation of several different consonant clusters into the fricative [ʃ] and later into [ɧ]. There was also the gradual softening of [ɡ] and [k] into [j] and the fricative [ɕ] before front vowels. The velar fricative [ɣ] was also transformed into the corresponding plosive [ɡ].

Swedish Document Translation
Swedish dialects are broadly classified into six groups, with notable phonological differences between the varieties spoken in Norrland, Svealand, and Götaland. Finland-Swedish (finlandssvenska) represents a distinct variety with its own vocabulary for administrative and legal concepts, which is relevant when translating documents issued by Finnish authorities in Swedish. Modern official documents across Sweden use standardised written Swedish (rikssvenska).
Swedish Document Types
A birth certificate from Sweden is a födelseattest or personbevis (population register extract), while a marriage certificate is a vigselbevis. Academic qualifications are issued as examensbevis from universities.
Where Swedish Is Official
Swedish became the official language of Sweden by statute in 2009 through the Language Act (språklagen), having previously held de facto official status for centuries. It is one of the two national languages of Finland, where it holds co-official status and is used in courts, government, and education. Swedish is also an official language of the European Union and of the Nordic Council.
Swedish uses the Latin alphabet extended with three additional vowels: å, ä, and ö, which are considered separate letters positioned at the end of the alphabet. These are not interchangeable with their base forms, and substituting them (e.g., writing "a" for "å") constitutes a spelling error that can affect name matching in official records.
