welsh translations
If you simply want the gist of a Welsh webpage or to translate a simple phrase, a basic literal translation from a Welsh translator may suffice – there are even online machine translations that can handle Welsh translations.
But what if translating to or from Welsh underpins the success of your next marketing campaign, expansive commercial literature or a legal document? With so much at stake, including your reputation, can you afford to trust those cheap basic translations?
More than just a Welsh translation
A properly done translation is actually about much more than just a literal translation. Your translator should take into account the subtleties of local dialect when they translate Welsh, as well as the cultural and social considerations relating to where in the country your translation will be used. When even the biggest global brands can fall foul of bad translation, it makes sense to entrust yours to a specialised translator offering services such as these:
- Accurate translation by skilled mother-tongue Welsh translators.
- Thorough Welsh localisation.
- Branding and marketing advice to support our Welsh translation services.
- DTP, typesetting and other services to ensure polished documentation.
- Proven in-house quality and project management systems.
- Advice and support on all your Welsh translation needs.
Respecting the subtleties of Welsh language and culture
It may not be the cheapest way to get a Welsh language translation but it's a sure way to guarantee a finished result that accurately conveys the message you originally crafted while respecting the subtleties of the Welsh language and culture (localisation is a separate fee payable service to just translation).

Background |
The peace and tranquility of the Welsh landscape belies a turbulent history. The Romans occupied Britain for 400 years but never succeded in entirely subduing Wales. Testaments to their efforts may still be seen at the site of the barracks of the II Augusta Legion at the pretty town of Caerleon in South Wales. Archeological excavation still takes place in nearby Caerwent (Venta Silurum) where the beautifully constructed core of the Roman town wall still fascinates, despite the fact that much of its facing stone has been re-used in local houses and farms. Following the Romans came the Saxons, Picts, Vikings and Normans. The history of the medieval period is dominated by the exploits of the rebellious Welsh princes such as Owain Glyndwr. Acts of parliament between 1536 and 1543 unified Wales with England. This history of struggle against invaders from within and without mainland Britain has left Wales with more castles per square mile than any other country in Western Europe. It's a nice irony that previous centuries of oppression have left Wales with a priceless national asset, the great castles in peaceful rural settings that contribute so much to the beauty of the Welsh landscape. |

March 1st is celebrated in Wales as St. David's Day. This is the most important day in the Welsh calendar and the day on which expatriates around the world remember their roots. It is a day for Welsh people to celebrate their culture and identity. St. David was an early crusader for Christianity in Wales and is supposed to have died on March 1st, 589. His remains were buried at what is now the Cathedral of St. David's in Pembrokeshire, west Wales. |

Main industries |
Coal, copper, iron, lead, and gold have been mined in Wales, and slate has been quarried. Much of Wales, due to poor soil, is unsuitable for crop-growing, and so livestock farming has traditionally been the focus of agriculture. The Welsh landscape, protected by three National Parks, and the unique Welsh culture bring in tourism, which is especially vital for rural areas. |
