Good to know before you order

The Official Status of Irish and When Translation Is Required

Irish (Gaeilge) is the first official language of the State under Article 8 of Bunreacht na hÉireann, and the working language of many public bodies under the Official Languages Act 2003. Certified translation between English and Irish is required where a party, a court, or a public body needs a formal record in either language: a person exercising their right under Section 8 of the Act to conduct court business in Irish; a Gaelscoil or Gaeltacht school enrolling a child on an English-issued birth certificate; a bilingual publication requiring parity of text; or a State body producing a document under statutory obligation of Irish-language service. Every certified translation carries a signed Statement of Accuracy.

English to Irish: Certified Translation for Official Use

English into Irish (Gaeilge) translation can cover: English birth or marriage certificates translated for Gaelscoil enrolment or Gaeltacht school records; deed-poll name-change orders rendered into Irish spelling where the applicant wishes their name recorded in Gaeilge; last wills and testaments drafted in English but requested in Irish for reading before beneficiaries; commercial contracts and terms of service issued in bilingual form for consumers in Gaeltacht areas; public-body publications translated to satisfy statutory Irish-language service obligations; and headstone inscriptions, wedding readings, homily texts and ceremonial addresses translated for family or community use.

Irish to English: When Gaeltacht Documents Need Certification

Irish to English translation can cover: historic parish register entries in Irish from Gaeltacht baptism, marriage or burial records; older school certificates issued by Irish-medium schools before bilingual issuance became standard; family-history documents encountered during genealogy work; and any Irish-language document required as evidence in a court, tribunal or public inquiry proceeding through the medium of English.

Fadas, Names, Séimhiú and Urú: What Careful Irish Translation Handles

Irish orthography carries diacritics (fadas: á, é, í, ó, ú) and grammatical mutations (séimhiú, marked by an h, and urú, marked by a prefixed consonant) that change meaning if dropped. Personal names carry patronymic and matronymic forms (Ó, Ní, Nic, Mac, Uí, Bean Uí) and are inflected by grammatical case. Placenames in Irish are official under the Placenames (Ceantair Ghaeltachta) Order and are used verbatim in State forms. Certified Irish translation preserves fadas, mutations and inflected name forms in the target text, and provides a transliteration only when the receiving system cannot accept Irish characters. A sworn translation, with the translator's declaration sworn before a solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths, is available for court exhibits or overseas use.

Turnaround by Document Length

Standard 24-hour delivery covers documents of one to three pages. Longer bundles run to 36 hours for four to six pages and 48 hours for seven to ten pages. Beyond eleven pages, delivery is confirmed individually. The prioritised 12-hour option (€59.99 per page) remains available for short civil-status documents and short court exhibits.
