About the Ukrainian Language

The Ukrainian language is an Eastern Slavic language, and part of the Indo-European language family.

Ukrainian is the second most spoken Slavic language and there are 37 million speakers in Ukraine. Most of them are native speakers. The Ukrainian language is written with Cyrillic letters.

The first theory of the origin of Ukrainian language was suggested in Imperial Russia in the middle of the 18th century by Mikhail Lomonosov. This theory posits the existence of a common language spoken by all East Slavic people in the time of the Rus'. According to Lomonosov, the differences that subsequently developed between Great Russian and Ukrainian (which he referred to as Little Russian) could be explained by the influence of the Polish and Slovak languages on Ukrainian and the influence of Uralic languages on Russian from the 13th to the 17th centuries.

Another point of view developed during the 19th and 20th centuries by linguists of Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. Like Lomonosov, they assumed the existence of a common language spoken by East Slavs in the past. But unlike Lomonosov's hypothesis, this theory does not view "Polonization" or any other external influence as the main driving force that led to the formation of three different languages (Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian) from the common Old East Slavic language. This general point of view is the most accepted amongst academics worldwide, particularly outside Ukraine. The supporters of this theory disagree, however, about the time when the different languages were formed.

Soviet scholars set the divergence between Ukrainian and Russian only at later time periods (14th through 16th centuries). According to this view, Old East Slavic diverged into Belarusian and Ukrainian to the west (collectively, the Ruthenian language of the 15th to 18th centuries), and Old Russian to the north-east, after the political boundaries of the Kievan Rus' were redrawn in the 14th century. During the time of the incorporation of Ruthenia (Ukraine and Belarus) into the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Ukrainian and Belarusian diverged into identifiably separate languages.

Ukrainian Document Translation

Ukrainian has three primary dialect groupings — Northern, Southwestern, and Southeastern — with the standard literary language based on the Southeastern Poltava-Kyiv dialect. Documents from western Ukraine may contain vocabulary influenced by Polish or Hungarian, while those from eastern regions may show Russian lexical influence. Post-2014 reforms have strengthened the use of standardised Ukrainian in all official documentation nationwide.

Ukrainian Document Types

A birth certificate is a свідоцтво про народження (svidotstvo pro narodzhennya), and a marriage certificate is a свідоцтво про шлюб (svidotstvo pro shlyub). University diplomas are issued as диплом (dyplom) with an accompanying grade supplement called додаток до диплома.

Ukrainian is the sole state language of Ukraine, a status reinforced by the 2019 Law on Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language, which mandates its use across government, education, media, and public services. It is recognised as a minority language in several neighbouring countries including Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Moldova. The global Ukrainian diaspora, significantly expanded since 2022, has increased the volume of Ukrainian documents requiring certified translation worldwide.

Industry Requirements

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces consumer protection laws including product labelling and safety standards. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) sets food labelling requirements, and the Australian Border Force (ABF) manages import compliance for goods entering Australia.

Commonly translated documents include product labels and packaging for imported goods (mandatory under Australian Consumer Law), e-commerce terms and conditions for multilingual websites, supplier contracts and purchase orders with international manufacturers, customs declarations and import documentation, product safety certifications, and consumer warranty information.

Product labelling translations must meet Australian Consumer Law accuracy requirements, though NAATI certification is not typically mandatory for commercial labels. Customs documentation may require certified translation for disputed classifications, and import licences or permits in foreign languages need certified translation for ABF processing.

Perth's retail sector imports heavily from Asia, with Fremantle Port handling consumer goods from China, South-East Asia, and Japan. The growing Asian grocery and specialty retail scene in suburbs like Northbridge, Victoria Park, and Balcatta generates demand for product label translations, and WA-based e-commerce businesses expanding into Asian markets require website and marketing content translation.
