Esperanto translation
Material for the international Esperanto community: publications, correspondence, congresses and websites. Translated with care for style and terms.
How we work
Esperanto is a language without a state but with a century-old community, its own congresses, publishers and libraries. Work with it therefore differs from every other direction: documents for authorities barely exist, while publications, correspondence, event material and websites do, and they have to read naturally to someone who uses Esperanto daily. Our own site has a full Esperanto version, every page rather than a welcome paragraph; that is the simplest way to check whether we actually work in this language.

Frequently asked questions
Is there such a thing as a notarised Esperanto translation?
Practically no, and that is a property of the language rather than a limitation of ours: no state keeps official records in Esperanto, so no authority asks for such a translation. If you have been told you need an “official Esperanto translation”, it is worth asking who wants it and why; it may be a translation from Esperanto into Ukrainian, which we do with ordinary certification.
Do you translate via English?
No. Relay translation shows immediately: idiom disappears, calques appear, and the text reads like a translation of a translation. We work from the original directly.
Can I order a translation from Esperanto into Ukrainian?
Yes, and that direction is the more frequent one here. Congress material, correspondence, articles from Esperanto publications — send the text and a manager will confirm the timeframe and price.
Why do you offer Esperanto at all?
Because a language an international community has used for over a century deserves proper service rather than machine output. For an agency it is also a test of honesty: you can only maintain a full site version in a language few will check if you genuinely command it. There is a simpler reason too: Vadym Kasian, the director of the agency, speaks Esperanto and uses it with pleasure. The translating is done by translators, of course, but you discuss an Esperanto task with someone who does not need the language explained to them.
