  2. Assigning a translator

    One of our specialist Haitian Creole translators gets to work. For certified translations, a professional translator who issues a certified statement of accuracy; for business, technical, legal or medical texts, a specialist from that field.

  3. Translation, QA and revision

    Once the experienced Haitian Creole translator has completed the text, a second specialist carries out a thorough quality check and revision.

What non-native translators and machine translation miss in Haitian Creole

Many teams speak good Haitian Creole and AI tools translate in seconds. Yet in business, legal and medical Haitian Creole texts, non-native translators and machine translation make the kind of mistakes that cost you credibility or legal validity. A few examples we prevent:

  • Creole or French?

    Voorbeeld:

    Many official Haitian certificates are drawn up in French while the spoken language is Creole. A client sometimes asks for a "Creole" translation when the source document is in fact in French.

    Onze aanpak:

    We establish up front which language the source document is in, and which language the receiving authority expects the translation to be in, and confirm that in the quote.

  • Spelling: IPN versus older conventions

    Voorbeeld:

    The official IPN orthography of 1979 departs sharply from older, French-based etymological spellings. Source documents can carry inconsistent spellings.

    Onze aanpak:

    We apply the IPN orthography as the standard and keep deviating source spellings consistent wherever readability calls for it.

  • False friends with French

    Voorbeeld:

    Creole words resemble French in form, but meaning or register can shift. Treating a Creole word as identical to its French look-alike leads to errors.

    Onze aanpak:

    A native speaker assesses meaning and register in the Creole context, not via French.

  • Names and transliteration on certificates

    Voorbeeld:

    The French and Creole spelling of personal names on certificates can vary, which makes consistency across official documents harder to hold.

    Onze aanpak:

    We match the spelling of names to your other documents and to the requirements of the receiving authority.

Wereldwijde dekking

Waar Haitian Creole wordt gesproken

Haitian Creole is closely interwoven with French. In Haiti, almost everyone speaks Creole, yet official certificates and legal papers are frequently drawn up in French. The same holds for the diaspora in the United States, Canada and France: a document may exist in French, in Creole or in both. We establish up front which language your source document is in, and which language the receiving authority expects the translation to be in, then confirm that choice in the quote.

Does Ecrivus work with certified Haitian Creole translators?
Yes. As a Haitian Creole translation agency we provide certified translation — a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details — wherever an authority requires it. This applies to Home Office and UKVI immigration documents, civil-status certificates, court papers and diploma assessment. The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so where a body asks for more the certification can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the FCDO. We assess per document type which level your receiving authority needs and confirm it in the quote.
My document is in French, but the authority asks for Haitian Creole — what now?
Many official Haitian certificates are drawn up in French while the spoken language is Creole. We first establish which language your source document is in, and which language the receiving authority expects the translation to be in. That way we avoid delivering the wrong language or variant. We confirm the direction and any certification in the quote before we begin.
Which spelling does Ecrivus use for Haitian Creole?
We apply the official IPN orthography of 1979, the standard maintained by the Akademi Kreyòl Ayisyen. Older, French-based spellings in your source document we handle consistently, so that names and terms hold true across the whole translation. Where a source mixes conventions, we agree the approach with you up front.
Can Ecrivus translate my Haitian diploma for UK ENIC assessment?
We translate your Haitian diploma and transcript, distinguishing carefully between the French-language and Creole parts of the document. UK ENIC carries out the comparison of your qualification itself; an accurate translation is the first step. We confirm the approach and any certification in the quote so the document chain is set up correctly for the body that will assess it.
How quickly will I receive a quote, and what about the lead time?
On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, language pair and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.
Where can I get a document legalised after translation?
For overseas use, a certified translation can be escalated to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. You can read the official guidance on GOV.UK at [Get a document legalised](https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised). We set up the document chain — certified translation, then notarisation or apostille as required — so it meets the receiving authority's requirements, and confirm which level you need in the quote.
Why choose a Haitian Creole translation agency instead of finding a freelance translator yourself?
A Haitian Creole translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select a native speaker who knows the Haitian document context, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and keep Creole and French carefully apart — a distinction that trips up many one-off projects. You keep one point of contact for language, variant, spelling, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
