Haitian Creole translation services
Written Kreyòl, not a French document hoping people will manage.
Haitian Creole at a glance
Haitian Creole is distinct from French — speakers may understand French but not always speak it. We pair Haitian patients and clients with Creole interpreters specifically, not French.
Haitian Creole has an official standardised orthography, distinct from French spelling. Written Kreyòl looks phonetic and regular on the page — and translating into French instead of Creole excludes a large share of the intended readers.
Haitian Creole has around 12 million speakers, primarily in Haiti and the Haitian diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
