Who speaks Irish?
Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge nah Eireann) is a Celtic language spoken by 138,000 people as their mother tongue, and by another million people as a second language in Ireland, with 276,000 first language speakers worldwide.
Mother-tongue translators of Irish
One of the aspects to be taken into account before hiring a English-Irish translator is that this should be his or her native language. If the translation is from Irish into English, they must be native English speakers; but if you need a translation from English into Irish, translators should ideally be Irelanders.

In addition to being native speakers, all our translators have a college degree in Translation and Interpreting (in Spain or in Ireland, etc.). They are professional linguist in their field of expertise for which they have specialised as translators of Irish (Law, Engineering, Medicine, Economics, Computer Science…).
