Welsh (Cymraeg) is an official language of Wales alongside English, with over 800,000 speakers. Under the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011, public bodies in Wales must provide services in Welsh. Legal documents, government publications, healthcare materials, and official correspondence are routinely required in both Welsh and English u2014 making specialist Welsh translation essential for organisations operating in Wales.

Welsh Language Legislation
The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 and Welsh Language Standards impose binding obligations on public bodies, Welsh Ministers, and many other organisations to treat Welsh and English equally. This creates substantial ongoing demand for professional Welsh translation across the public sector, regulated industries, and any business serving Welsh-speaking communities.
Our Welsh translators work to Welsh Government terminology standards and are familiar with the terminology databases and style guides used across Welsh public sector translation.
