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. We produce over 9 million word of Irish translation a year.
Global Languages For Government Service
We translate documents into many languages such as Chinese, Arabic, Romanian, Ukrainian, Polish and French covering all resident nationalities. Support for 200 languages is available.
Accredited Translators
We frequently receive inquiries about whether our native Irish translators are accredited by Fóras Na Gaeilge. We collaborate with several Irish translators who hold certification from Fóras Na Gaeilge. If you require this level of accreditation for your project, we can certainly accommodate your needs.
Additionally, our translation process adheres to the highest quality standards, being certified under both ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015. At STAR, we are committed to delivering top-quality translations.
File Formats
We have the capability to work directly with a wide range of leading file formats. Our team regularly translates documents in popular formats such as Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign.
When it comes to website translation, we support various content management systems including WordPress, Joomla, DNN, Evoq, and many more. If your website uses a custom format, we are more than happy to discuss the best method for translating your content to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing process.

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.
