City of Cockburn
The City of Cockburn is a local government area in the southern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth about 8 kilometres (5 mi) south of Fremantle and about 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 167.5 square kilometres (64.7 sq mi) and had a population of over 104,000 as at the 2016 Census.
City of Cockburn History
Cockburn is named after Cockburn Sound, which was named in 1827 by Captain James Stirling after Admiral Sir George Cockburn. Sir George was born in London in 1772 and was a renowned British naval officer, eventually becoming Admiral of the Fleet and First Sea Lord. He served under Horatio Nelson during the war with France, but came to public attention and was granted his knighthood for his service in the War of 1812, in particular for the burning of Washington in 1814. It was he who took Napoleon to exile on the island of Saint Helena after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
In 1871, the Fremantle Road District was created under the District Roads Act 1871 to cover the area to the south and east of Fremantle, and the Fremantle Road Board was created to manage it. The original District was bounded on the north by the Swan River from Fremantle to the mouth of the Canning River; on the east by a line from Bull Creek to the junction of what is now the intersection of the Albany and South Western Highways in Armadale; on the south by a line from Armadale to, and including the Rockingham townsite; and to the west by the Indian Ocean.

German is a West Germanic language that is most widely spoken in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol (Italy), the German-speaking Community of Belgium, and Liechtenstein. It is also one of the three official languages of Luxembourg.
The languages which are most similar to German are the other members of the West Germanic language branch: Afrikaans, German, English, the Frisian languages, Low German/Low Saxon, Luxembourgish, and Yiddish. German is the second most widely spoken Germanic language, after English.
German is an inflected language with four cases for nouns, pronouns and adjectives (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative), three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), two numbers (singular, plural), and strong and weak verbs. German derives the majority of its vocabulary from the ancient Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. A portion of German words are derived from Latin and Greek, and fewer are borrowed from French and Modern English. With slightly different standardized variants (German, Austrian and Swiss Standard German), German is a pluricentric language. It is also notable for its broad spectrum of dialects, with many unique varieties existing in Europe and also other parts of the world. Italy recognizes all the German minorities in its territory as national historic minorities and protects the varieties of German spoken in several regions of Northern Italy besides South Tyrol. Due to the limited intelligibility between certain varieties and Standard German, as well as the lack of an undisputed, scientific difference between a "dialect" and a "language", some German varieties or dialect groups (e.g. Low German or Plautdietsch) are alternatively referred to as "languages" or "dialects".

German Document Translation
Standard German (Hochdeutsch) is used in official documents across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, but significant terminological differences exist between these countries. Austrian German (Österreichisches Deutsch) uses different words for many legal and administrative concepts — a qualification certificate is an Abschlusszeugnis in Germany but a Reifeprüfungszeugnis in Austria. Swiss German documents follow Swiss standard German conventions with distinct vocabulary for governmental structures reflecting the cantonal system.
German Document Types
German civil documents include the Geburtsurkunde (birth certificate), Heiratsurkunde or Eheurkunde (marriage certificate), and Führerschein (driving licence). In Austria, the birth certificate is also Geburtsurkunde, but the issuing office is the Standesamt (civil registry) of the Bezirk (district). Swiss equivalents may appear in German, French, or Italian depending on the canton.
Where German Is Official
German is the official language of Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein, and a co-official language of Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and South Tyrol (Italy). It is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union. Documents from each German-speaking country follow distinct administrative traditions — Germany's federal system, Austria's Bezirk-based administration, and Switzerland's cantonal structure all produce documents with different formats, seals, and institutional terminology.
German uses the Latin alphabet plus four additional characters: ä, ö, ü (umlauted vowels) and ß (Eszett/sharp s). The Eszett is used in Germany and Austria but replaced by ss in Switzerland. For identity documents, the replacement convention matters: ä becomes ae, ö becomes oe, ü becomes ue when transliterated. A capital ẞ was officially added to the German alphabet in 2017.
