City of Nedlands
The City of Nedlands is a local government area in the inner western suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth, about 7 kilometres (4 mi) west of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 20.0 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi), maintains 137 km of roads and a little over 380 hectares of parks and gardens, and has a population of over 21,000 as of 2016.
City of Nedlands History
The City of Nedlands had its origins in the Claremont Road District, which was created in 1893 after a petition from ratepayers who lived in the areas of Nedlands and Claremont, which had grown substantially in population at the end of the 19th century. Seven men were nominated to the new Board, which became the first local government authority for the Nedlands/Claremont area. In 1898, Claremont itself split away to form a municipal government, which still exists today as the Town of Claremont.
In 1932, the Claremont Road Board was renamed Nedlands, and on 1 July 1959, it became a city. The City was made up of four wards – Melvista, Hollywood, Dalkeith and Coastal. These wards continue to the present day.
"On 1 July, 1959 the City of Nedlands was proclaimed at the command of Governor Sir Charles Gairdner, in the packed Dalkeith Civic Hall. Mr Allan Jenkins read out the proclamation and the Minister for Local Government, Mr Leslie Logan, M.L.C. conducted the official swearing in ceremony of the new Mayor, John Charles Smith, the twelve new Councillors and the auditors. He then appointed Mr Allan Jenkins as the City's first Town Clerk. Among those present was MLA for Nedlands, Deputy Premier Charles Court." - From the City of Nedlands Council Website https://www.nedlands.wa.gov.au/history.

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.
