Under the Constitution, Irish (Gaeilge) is the first official language and English the second, but English is the language of daily life and of most documents: birth and marriage certificates, school records, bank statements and court papers. Irish English is the English spoken in Ireland, not the Irish language: translating from or into Irish (Gaeilge) is a different service, with its own page. For immigration and citizenship, the rules are set by Immigration Service Delivery (ISD), and the format depends on where and how the application is made. | Where | What you need | |---|---| | Ireland: applications made to ISD from inside Ireland | Translation into English with the signed translation statement of the translation company, which ISD accepts for applications made in Ireland.

A translation into English for Ireland follows these conventions, and a translation of an Irish document keeps every term as it was issued. - Spelling: Irish English follows British spelling and writes colour, centre, organisation and licence, where American English writes color, center, organization and license. - Vocabulary: Irish English has words and expressions of its own, many shaped by the Irish language: grand means fine, a press is a cupboard, and I’m after signing it means I have just signed it. The translation renders them by meaning, not word by word. - Dates and numbers: Ireland writes dates day, month and year, so 03/10/2026 is 3 October, not March 10 as in the United States. Amounts are in euro, and Ireland writes 1,500.00, with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals. - Names: Irish names often carry the prefixes Ó, Mac or Ní and the accent called the fada, as in Seán or Siobhán, and some people use both an English and an Irish form of their name. The translation keeps every name exactly as in the original, accents included. - Documents: in Ireland, birth, marriage and death certificates are issued by the General Register Office, many records carry the PPS number (Personal Public Service Number), addresses carry an Eircode, and some documents bring English and Irish side by side. The translation reproduces every stamp, seal and note. ## The history of English in Ireland English arrived in Ireland with the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1169, but for centuries most of the island spoke Irish. In 1366, the Statutes of Kilkenny tried to stop the English settlers from adopting the Irish language and Irish customs, a sign of how strong Irish remained. English spread with the plantations of the 16th and 17th centuries, with the national schools opened in 1831, which taught in English, and with the Great Famine of 1845 to 1852, which hit the Irish-speaking regions hardest and was followed by mass emigration. By the end of the 19th century, English was the language of most of the country, and it kept words, sounds and grammar from Irish. Irish writers made Irish English known around the world: Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, and four winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature, W. B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney. The Constitution of 1937 made Irish the first official language and English the second, and today English is the everyday language of most people in Ireland. ## We also translate other languages - [German translation](https://roxotranslations.com/german-translation/) - [Vietnamese translation](https://roxotranslations.com/vietnamese-translation/) - [Italian translation](https://roxotranslations.com/italian-translation/) - [Arabic translation](https://roxotranslations.com/arabic-translation/) - [Simplified Chinese translation](https://roxotranslations.com/chinese-translation/)
