THE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ENGLISH TO/FROM WELSH TRANSLATORS AND INTERPRETERS

Who's who

Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru employs two full-time members of staff to manage and administer the association and to organise its activities programme.

Members of staff are not translators nor interpreters nor do they offer these services, but they are willing to give as much help as possible in order to find a translator/interpreter from among Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru's members.
