About the Tagalog language.
Tagalog is the native language of Manila and much of central and southern Luzon in the Philippines, and the basis of Filipino, the national language. It is written in the Latin alphabet.
For a national Philippine audience, Filipino, the standardised national language, is usually the better choice. Tagalog suits content aimed at Tagalog-speaking regions or communities. Most Philippine official records are in English. Tell us what is on the page. Tagalog uses respect markers (such as po and opo) when addressing elders and strangers. Customer and community communication should use them appropriately.
Tagalog to English is usually personal statements, letters and community material. English to Tagalog is usually community, public information and marketing content.
Where a document or statement is in Tagalog, a certified translation is available. For affidavits and personal statements, tell us the receiving authority. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
