Irish Translation Services for the Public Sector
Delivering translation for government and public sector requires the highest levels of quality and the ability to deliver large volume translation projects. We work with a number of government agencies delivering documents in the areas of pensions, welfare, immigration and health and safety.
Global Languages For Government Service
We translate documents into many languages such as Chinese, Arabic, Romanian, Russian, Polish and French covering all resident nationalities. We cover all your departments language needs. Support for 200 languages is available.
Accredited Translators
We are often asked if our native Irish translators are accredited to Fóras Na Gaeilge. We work with a number of Irish translators who are Fóras Na Gaeilge certified. We can provide this level if required.
Our translation process is ISO 9001 and ISO 17100:2015 certified. STAR focus on quality translation.
Government Translators
Our customers include government departments and commercial companies in Ireland. We translate for key government departments translating into Irish and other languages.
We translate for many county councils and boards.
HSE Translation is also a service we provide.
File Formats
We can work directly with most of the leading file formats. We regularly translate files in Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign.
For website translation we work with WordPress, Joomla, DNN, Evoq and many more. If you have a custom format we are more than happy to talk to you about the best method for translation for your process.
Is the fada important in Irish?
Yes it is. We’re passionate about our language and often see mistakes when people either omit the fada or put it in the wrong place. Making this mistake is bad as it can often change the meaning of the word – or the entire sentence.
Here is great poster we put together that shows 49 reasons the fada important.
This is why you should use a professional translation company, that provides proofreading services. We employ professional proofreaders just for this purpose. Translation should always be verified by at least two people.
