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.
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form, a school or university certificate from an Irish-medium (Gaelscoil or Gaeltacht) institution, or a personal or historical document.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 Oakville gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Prism arranges Irish, or Gaeilge, translation and translators in Oakville for certificates and Gaelscoil records issued in Irish, with names kept in both Irish and anglicised forms.
Oakville, in Halton Region between Toronto and Hamilton, has grown into an affluent and increasingly multicultural community. Its largest immigrant groups come from China, India and the United Kingdom, and close to a fifth of residents regularly speak a language other than English or French at home. The most common of these include Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish and Urdu, while South Asian, Chinese and Arab residents make up the largest racialized communities. Sheridan College adds to the mix with a substantial international enrolment.
This diversity supports ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in health, legal and settlement services. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, the Milton courthouse that houses both the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice for Halton, and settlement agencies such as HMC Connections and the Centre for Skills Development all assist newcomers. IRCC immigration, medical care and family matters generate steady requests for interpreters and certified document translation.
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.
Our Irish interpreting is matched to Ulster, Connacht or Munster dialect where a speaker uses one, covering interviews, hearings and appointments in Oakville.
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 Oakville or by phone and video, with availability confirmed at booking.
For an in-person assignment in Oakville we assign an Irish interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day.

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.
