The Association of Gaelic Translators is a community of practice for translators working in the language. It showcases the work of individual translators and is involved in developing various resources for those who wish to make Gaelic translation their career.

The Association also provides support for members in the use of Trados Translation technology.

The Association of Gaelic Translators is a project which is managed by Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the National Centre for Gaelic Language & Culture.

The project has been made possible with support from Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
