Irish translation services
Irish translation for the work your organisation publishes
From annual reports to public information, we translate Irish-language content and help prepare the finished files. Send us your documents and publication deadline for a quotation.
We translate more than 500,000 words of Irish each year and rank in the top three for Lot 1 of the OGP Irish Language Translation Services framework.
The content we work on
We support annual reports, strategy statements, public information, forms, correspondence, websites, campaigns and bilingual materials. We can also discuss formatting and publishing requirements where the translation needs to fit an existing design.
A single assignment may be part of a larger publication programme. Tell us what is coming up, which documents depend on one another and when your reviewers need to see them. We can plan the quotation and schedule around those requirements.
Terminology that carries through your work
Official names, programme titles and specialist terms often recur across several documents. We work with the terminology and reference material you provide, including approved translations. Where appropriate, our linguists use resources such as téarma.ie and logainm.ie alongside your organisation's own preferences.
Translation memories and terminology resources support consistency across updates and related projects. Irish-language work takes account of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil and the requirements of the audience and document.
Planning for bilingual publication
Public bodies covered by the Official Languages Act must publish certain documents, including annual reports and specified strategy statements, simultaneously in Irish and English. Planning translation alongside source-document approval gives your team time for review and preparation in both languages.
We agree the scope, file formats, review stages and delivery date at the outset. If the source changes during production, tell your project manager so the impact on the translation and schedule can be assessed.
Quality and procurement
Transferendum is a participant in Lots 1 and 2 of the OGP Irish Language Translation Services framework and ranks in the top three on Lot 1. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 17100 and ISO 18587 certification. We can discuss the relevant process and evidence for your procurement or project requirements.
The production route depends on your brief. We can discuss human translation or a machine-assisted route with post-editing, along with any restrictions and review steps required by the contract.
A change to an official programme name or recurring title can affect reports, forms and website content. Provide the approved Irish form and earlier references so it can be used consistently across the materials in scope.
Questions
Can you work with our approved terminology?
Yes. Share your glossary, style guide, previous translations or other reference material when you request a quote. We will agree how terminology queries should be resolved.
Can you translate an annual report for simultaneous publication?
We can translate the Irish-language content and plan delivery around your publication date. Share your word count, file formats and review schedule so we can confirm the scope and timing.
Can we use the OGP framework?
Transferendum participates in Lots 1 and 2. The appropriate ordering route depends on your organisation and the framework rules; we can discuss the requirements with you.
