Request a quoteWhat 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.
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.

- United States~1M speakerslarge diaspora in Florida and New York
