In this section of our website, you will find a list of the most reliable free Irish Gaelic translators available online. To select one of these translators, simply click one of the links above. As disclaimer, I would just like to state that we do not endorse, nor are we affiliated with any of these services. They are simply listed here as a convenience to our guests and visitors. If you have a specific question regarding any of these free services, then please be sure and direct your inquiry to the owner or administrator of the tool, as opposed to contacting our staff. We do really enjoy hearing from you, however we will not be able to answer any questions pertaining to these free translators. Please also be aware that we plan to offer our own free Irish Gaelic translator in the very near future, so please stay tuned for that development. If you yourself have developed such a tool, then please contact us for partnership opportunities.
Any time you use a free translator, unfortunately you usually get what you pay for. We have gone through the painstaking process of weeding out any substandard services from being promoted here, as unfortunately there are a number of them out there. What you generally want to look for when assessing the reliability of an online translator, is to run a few simple words or phrases through it, and then cross check the results with translations that you know for sure are accurate. If the translator successfully completes these quick tests without any errors, then you can at least be assured that it is reliable for translating simple words or phrases. For the next more extensive test, you will then want to run a more complex sentence or paragraph through the translator, and again cross check it with a verified translation for accuracy. We have run these tests on the services we've linked to, but can not vouch for their accuracy unfortunately.
Just to point out the obvious, or what I hope is the obvious, is that you do not want to use any of these free Irish Gaelic translators to translate an official document, and you certainly do not want to use them to translate text for an Irish Gaelic tattoo. I actually know two people who have gotten Gaelic tattoos with the incorrect translation inked on to their bodies, and believe me, this is not something you want to have to deal with. Another specific example of what not to use these translators for, is the translation of any government or academic related materials. These tools are provided as a means for a loose translation. It will still take many more years into the future to create and code the perfect online translating device, and I can guarantee that the first person who accomplishes this, will become an instant millionaire. So please people, do use good old common sense when using these free Irish Gaelic translators.
Contrary to what many of us would like to believe, to receive an accurate Irish Gaelic translation requires two things. The first thing is a certified language expert, and the second thing is money. For those of you who have had to pay to have anything translated officially, then you know that doing so can be extremely expensive, especially if the documents are government destined. When seeking out a professional translator, always make sure that they are certified to be translating, otherwise you might get extremely poor results. The internet is crawling with individuals offering "certified" translation services, and many of these people aren't actually certified. To make sure you're not giving money to one of these unscrupulous companies or individuals, make sure that you see an actual copy of their certification, and then verify it's authenticity if you have to, which can be done by contacting the certification board of issuance.
