About the Scottish Gaelic language.
Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) is spoken in Scotland, mainly in the Highlands and the Western Isles, and by communities in Glasgow and elsewhere, and in Nova Scotia, Canada. It has official status in Scotland under the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. It is a Celtic language, closely related to Irish, and is written in the Latin alphabet.
Scottish Gaelic spelling follows modern conventions, with grave accents on long vowels, and names and place names often have both Gaelic and English forms. We use the forms your readers expect and keep them consistent.
Public bodies in Scotland publish in Gaelic as well as English, so work often includes plans, forms, signage, reports and websites, as well as cultural, education and tourism content.
We translate in both directions. Common documents include certificates and records, public-sector material and court papers. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
