Translation
The Welsh language standards require that many organisations in Wales provide services, correspondence, meetings and all kinds of documents in both languages.
We offer advice to organisations on matters relating to translation to equip them to make the best use of the services available.
Procuring translation services
Search for a professional translator on the association of Welsh translators and interpreters’ website: Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru.
Public sector bodies in Wales can benefit from the National Procurement Services’ Welsh translation and simultaneous interpretation services framework. You can find more information about the framework on the Sell2Wales website.
