Welcome to the Wakefield Council website. The main languages in use in the district apart from English include Urdu, Kurdish, Farsi, Polish, French, Tigrinya, Russian, Czech and Portuguese.

We are unable to provide this website in every language. But if you need to know about a council service in another language we will try to help. Please follow the links below:

Google also provides a service which will use Automatic Translation to translate our website into another language. The translation may not be perfect, as it doesn't have the fluency of a native speaker or possess the skill of a professional translator. However, it may help translate our site - follow the link for Google Translate

Another useful site is Multikulti - www.multikulti.org.uk/ - which offers culturally appropriate and accurately translated information in the following areas of welfare law - debt, employment, health, housing, immigration and welfare benefits. (Note: Multikulti is not operated by Wakefield Council)
