Irish, or Gaeilge, translation for Irish-language certificates and records, and Irish interpreting where a speaker chooses to give evidence or attend an appointment in Irish.
Certified Irish to English Translation in Gatineau
We provide certified Irish to English translation of Irish-language birth, marriage and death certificates and Irish-medium school records, by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit, with an attached apostille translated too.
Irish is a Celtic language written in the Latin alphabet with the síneadh fada, the length accent over vowels. Ireland is officially bilingual, and civil records can be issued in Irish or in English, so we confirm which form a record is in before quoting.
Where a record is in Irish it is usually a birth, marriage or death certificate issued in the Irish-language form, a school or university certificate from an Irish-medium (Gaelscoil or Gaeltacht) institution, or a personal or historical document. We translate these into English, keep names in both their Irish and anglicised forms where both appear, and report the issuing office as printed.
For IRCC or credential use a translation should come from a certified translator or carry a sworn affidavit of accuracy before a commissioner of oaths. Ireland issues documents under the Hague apostille, which we translate when attached. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Irish translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet IRCC requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Gatineau gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Irish Translator in Gatineau
Prism arranges Irish, or Gaeilge, translation and translators in Gatineau for certificates and Gaelscoil records issued in Irish, with names kept in both Irish and anglicised forms.
Gatineau sits on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River and, together with Ottawa, forms Canada's National Capital Region. With close to 300,000 residents, it is a majority French-speaking city, yet it is also among the most bilingual places in the country, with roughly two-thirds of residents able to speak both French and English. The federal government across the river makes Gatineau a hub for English-French communication and creates steady demand for translation and interpreting in public administration, business and community services.
The Charter of the French Language and Bill 96, administered by the Office quebecois de la langue francaise, require many official and commercial documents to be produced in French, so certified translation is often needed for contracts, diplomas and civil-status records. Newcomers filing with IRCC, patients and clients of local health and settlement services, and parties before the Superior Court of Quebec and the Court of Quebec in the Gatineau judicial district regularly rely on accurate translated documents.
About the Irish Language
Irish - also called Irish Gaelic or Gaeilge - is the first official language of Ireland, though English is the dominant everyday language. Around 1.8 million people claim some Irish ability, with roughly 70,000 daily speakers concentrated in Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) regions on the west coast. Our Irish translation work is mostly cultural and genealogical - Irish-language birth, marriage, and church records for descendants applying for Irish citizenship by descent, plus the occasional Gaeltacht-area document or cultural-association paperwork.
Irish Interpreters in Gatineau
Our Irish interpreting is matched to Ulster, Connacht or Munster dialect where a speaker uses one, covering interviews, hearings and appointments in Gatineau.
Spoken Irish interpreting is arranged where someone chooses to give evidence or attend an appointment in Irish, and we confirm the client's preferred language and the interpreting requirements beforehand so an Irish interpreter is assigned.
The three main dialects, Ulster, Connacht and Munster, differ in pronunciation and some vocabulary, and we note which a speaker uses. Where an interpreter is asked for we cover IRCC interviews, court or tribunal hearings, and appointments, in person in Gatineau or by phone and video, with availability confirmed at booking.
For an in-person assignment in Gatineau we assign an Irish interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly. See Irish interpreter in Gatineau for the full interpreting service.

Irish Translation Services in Gatineau: FAQs
My Irish certificate is in English already. Do I need anything?
Probably not for translation. Ireland issues many records in English, so Irish-language translation is only for a certificate or document genuinely in Irish. Send us a scan and we will tell you honestly.
Do you match Irish dialects for an interpreter?
Yes, where an interpreter is asked for. Ulster, Connacht and Munster Irish differ in pronunciation and vocabulary, and we note which the speaker uses.
