Europus was established in 1996. The director of Europus, Áine Ní Chonghaile received her training in the Translation Section of the Houses of the Oireachtas, Leinster House, Dublin and spent over ten years on the legal translation team in the section. Sinéad Ní Ráinne M.Sc. joined the company at its establishment.

The company now employs 12 full-time employees. All our translators hold an honours degree in Irish and must pass an examination and an interview before appointment. Most of our senior translators hold a M.Sc. degree in Irish translation. Europus translators receive extensive in-house training and attend Europus’s Post Graduate Diploma in Irish Language Translation which is validated and accredited by HETAC and funded by Údarás na Gaeltachta.

All of the translators employed by Europus are fully vetted to ensure that they hold relevant professional qualifications. References from previous employers are requested and verified. All translators must satisfactorily pass a written examination in translation and proofreading before commencing employment. Translators are given in-house training in Europus’s work practices, e.g. researching terminology, use of client glossaries, CAT Tools etc.
