Translation Resources

Gaeltacht UCD coordinates the University’s Irish language translation service and advises all UCD schools, centres and units on the design and layout of Irish language and/or bilingual publications, signage and stationary, in accordance with the Official Languages Act. The centre provides a database for UCD buildings, schools and colleges, and offers a service for pre-recorded oral announcements. Please note that costs for translations not already in the Gaeltacht UCD database are covered by individual schools/centres/units. Gaeltacht UCD will coordinate the professional translation and proof for consistency in house style.
