Esperanto translation
Material for the international Esperanto community: publications, correspondence, congresses, websites.
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.
