SUBJECT:	Request for the Language Services Section to help with translation 
 


The Parliamentary Communication Services (PCS) is in the process of changing the automated voice system in all the 90 Plein Street elevators.  PCS intends to use the voice of Parliament staff to ensure that the voices on elevators are a true reflection of the languages spoken by the communities we exist to serve.  We therefore request assistance from the Languages Services Section to help with translation of the messages below to be used in the 90 Plein Street elevators from English into the following languages: Afrikaans, seTswana, xiVenda, siSwati, isiZulu, isiXhosa, xiTsonga. 

The intention here is to localise voices on the lifts and make all of us to identify and relate to. Parliamentary staff has been requested to audition for a voice that can be used.  Auditions will take place during the week starting on 9 March 2009.
