Certified translation in Cardiff for use in Ireland
An Irish desk works in English, so a record written in another language needs an English version beside it. What makes that version usable is not the fluency of the prose. It is the fact that a named person has signed to say this English answers to that sheet, on a stated date.
That link is the quiet heart of the job. A certified translation into English in Cardiff is not a general rendering of your document in the abstract; it is a rendering of the specific printing you scanned, down to the reference number in the corner and the wording of the seal.
The language Ireland requires
English is the language a certified translation for Ireland is written in, and the whole sheet goes into it. Names hold their printed spelling, the issuing body keeps its own name so a reader can write to it, and any note added by hand is described where it appears rather than tidied out of the way.
Where the source uses a term with no English equal, the plain sense is given and the original word is left in view. Nothing is smoothed, promoted or guessed at, because a reader who later compares the two sheets should find them saying the same thing in two languages.
What the signed note fixes
The route is a certified translation with a certificate of accuracy. Beneath the English sits a block giving the translator's name, the standing they hold and the date of signing. An official English translation in Cardiff is finished at that point, and the date on it is what tells a reader which version of your record was in front of the translator.
Your paper stays where it is throughout, since a scan is what the work is built from. Where the record is a civil one, Cardiff Register Office at City Hall, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3ND issues fresh certified copies of births, marriages and deaths, and translating from a spare copy keeps the sheet you rely on out of any process.
Cost per page and the clock
The rate is about £25 a page and follows printed sides, so a bundle can be totalled before you order and the figure will not shift later. The signed note is part of the job rather than an addition to the bill, and it covers every sheet in the set it was written for.
Standard work takes 2–3 business days, counted from the arrival of complete scans rather than from the order. If a page is missing, the clock has not started, which is the usual cause of a job that seems to have stalled. The express lane closes the same work in 24 hours.
