Enhancing Multicultural Engagement at Golden Dragon Museum With Hindi and Spanish Translations
Translation & Audio
Spanish & Hindi
Inclusive Experience
Challenge:
The Golden Dragon Museum recently reached out to us for assistance in preparing translations for their Hindi and Spanish speaking visitors. Nestled in Bendigo’s historic Dai Gum San, the museum is more than an archive. It’s a cultural treasure that preserves the remarkable legacy of the Chinese community, which has shaped the city’s identity since the gold rush era.
The museum stands as a testament to the resilience of Chinese migrants and their lasting contributions to Bendigo. Visitors can explore exhibits that detail this legacy. Alongside them are the tranquil Yi Yuan Gardens and Guan Yin Temple, which embody the elegance of traditional Chinese design. The museum also houses Dai Gum Loong, one of the world’s longest imperial dragons and a centrepiece of Bendigo’s famous Easter Festival.
As Bendigo thrives as a modern tourist destination, recognised as the Wotif Aussie Town of the Year and Australia’s Top Tourism Town Awards, the museum plays a key role. It connects visitors to the city’s history. Recognising the growing number of international students and travellers, the museum reached out to CHIN to translate its brochures into Hindi and Spanish to better serve its diverse audience.
Solution and Result:
Our team was honoured to assist with this initiative. Translating historical texts is not just an exercise in linguistic precision; it is a journey that requires deep cultural sensitivity. Terms like “Dai Gum San” and “Yi Yuan Gardens” carry historical and emotional meaning that must resonate with the target audience. Adapting historical idioms, dates, and culturally specific references ensures the message is engaging and accessible. We carefully balanced these considerations to ensure Hindi and Spanish speaking visitors feel welcomed and connected to Bendigo’s unique heritage.
The Golden Dragon Museum reminds us that Bendigo’s identity is rooted in diversity and connection across cultures. We are proud to have helped bridge languages, preserving the legacy of a community whose resilience continues to inspire generations.
