From an individual certificate to an organisation’s public information, the right approach depends on your intended readers, the document’s purpose and any formal instructions.

Legal and specialist texts
Agreements, policy documents and regulated or technical content requiring context, accurate terminology and an agreed review process.
English to Welsh or Welsh to English?
These two requests serve different audiences. Specify the direction and any existing bilingual text to prevent unnecessary work or conflicting terminology.
English → Welsh
For English source text that needs to be read in Welsh, such as public information, organisation policies, website pages or a document for a Welsh-language recipient. The finished text should suit the intended Welsh audience and context.
Welsh → English
For Welsh-language certificates, correspondence or records that need to be read by an English-speaking recipient. Tell us whether you need a certified translation and whether the original bilingual sections should remain visible.
Bilingual originals: If a document already contains both English and Welsh, provide the full original and specify exactly which sections require translation or checking. Place names, personal names and organisation names should be handled consistently with the source and the intended use.
What to include with your English-to-Welsh translation order
You can start with the document and a few practical instructions. For recurring business or public-facing content, terminology and layout requirements are especially important.
- Complete source files: upload legible PDFs, editable documents or the original web content where available.
- Language direction: confirm English-to-Welsh, Welsh-to-English or both for distinct documents.
- Purpose and audience: identify a public notice, official submission, business communication or customer-facing website.
- Required certification: provide the receiving body’s requirements for a certificate, signature or other formal declaration if one is needed.
- Names and terminology: share preferred names, approved glossary, style guide or previously translated materials.
- Welsh language presentation: specify how English and Welsh should appear side by side, in separate files or in a particular order.
- Layout and format: tell us whether you need original tables, editable Word documents, graphics or website-ready text.
- Deadline and delivery: provide the intended submission date and any formatting, proofreading or additional review requirements.
Welsh Language Standards: what translation buyers should check
Welsh has official status in Wales. Under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, particular organisations may have statutory Welsh-language duties set through regulations and an individual compliance notice.
Check which standards apply to your body
Do not assume one universal template or deadline applies to all organisations. A compliance notice identifies which Welsh Language Standards a particular body must meet and when they take effect.
Plan bilingual services and content
Requirements may affect correspondence, services, forms, websites and other information. Translate the precise materials needed for the organisation’s obligations and intended Welsh-language users.
Provide your house style and approved wording
A glossary, organisation name conventions and existing bilingual material can help keep translations consistent across a website, document set or campaign.
Confirm procurement and quality requirements
Where your organisation has its own review, translator, procurement or accessibility requirements, identify these before translation begins. A supplier cannot independently guarantee statutory compliance.

Receive the translated files

English-to-Welsh translation FAQs
Helpful information for buyers comparing document, certified, bilingual and website translation services.
Can you translate English documents into Welsh?
Yes, you can request English-to-Welsh document translation. Provide the document, purpose, deadline and any formatting or certification requirements so the translation can be scoped accurately.
Do you also translate Welsh into English?
You can enquire about Welsh-to-English translation, but it is a different language direction. Specify which version is the source and whether both languages are already present in the same document.
Can I order a certified English-to-Welsh translation?
Certification may be requested where suitable. Before ordering, confirm the receiving authority or organisation's exact requirements for certificate wording, translator details, signatures, format and delivery. Acceptance is not automatic.
Which documents need Welsh translation?
Common requests include personal certificates, academic records, public information, corporate policies, contracts, training materials, notices, websites and business communications. The intended reader determines the most useful format.
What are the Welsh Language Standards?
They are requirements imposed on particular organisations under Wales's Welsh language legal framework, with applicable duties set through regulations and compliance notices. See the Welsh Language Commissioner for official information.
Does a translation agency certify that our organisation complies with Welsh Language Standards?
No. Translation work can support an organisation’s bilingual communication, but statutory compliance depends on its own applicable obligations, service arrangements and procedures. Confirm these with the appropriate regulatory guidance.
Can you translate a website or public-facing leaflet into Welsh?
Yes, these are suitable enquiries. Share the English source, intended audience, existing terminology and preferred bilingual presentation, including whether editable web text or layout-ready content is needed.
How do you handle bilingual English and Welsh documents?
Provide the complete original and tell us which sections need translating, proofreading or alignment. Existing approved Welsh content and named organisations should be kept consistent with the project brief.
How much does English-to-Welsh translation cost and how long will it take?
The quotation and delivery depend on word count, document condition, subject matter, file format, layout, certification and requested deadline. Submit the material through the translation order page or enquiry form to confirm the scope.
