Wanaka App changes section titles to celebrate Maori Language Week.

This week is Maori Language Week and a great opportunity to engage with te reo Maori.


The theme for the week is Kia Kaha te Reo Maori which means let’s make the Maori language strong.


At the Wanaka App we’re changing all our main menu headings to te reo Maori for the week. Here is the translation:


News - Ngā kōrero o te wā

Covid 19 – Mate Korona                         

Reports - Rīpoata

For Biz- Kaipakihi

Trades/Services - Kaimahi/Kaiwhakarato

Health/Beauty - Hauora/Ahua tinana

Eat/Drink/Stay - E kai,E inu, Whare noho

Council - Kaunihera

Things to Do - Kimi haere

Wanaka Online - translation coming

Show Homes/Building - Ngā whare hou 

Notifications - Ngā whakaaturanga

Community/Jobs - Rōpū-ā-iwi

Contact - Whakapā

We Are One - translation coming


We hope you enjoy the change and take this opportunity to learn a little more about one of our nation's three official languages.


Thanks to Paul Tamati for the translation.
