Translators Specializing in Translation to and from Tagalog

The Philippines, a gem of Southeast Asia, is an increasingly developing nation whose GDP has been growing rapidly throughout the 21st century. As the Philippines develops its economy, improves its people’s quality of life, and propels itself onto the international stage, more and more international companies will turn their gaze toward the archipelagic country. In fact, the Philippines is projected to be one of the “next eleven” countries to develop a major global economy in the 21st century—so businesses would be wise to get a piece of the market early.

At ProofreadingServices.com, we work with businesses, academics, writers, and others to translate seamlessly between Tagalog, the biggest native language in the Philippines, and English. Though English is widely used in the Philippines, if you’re looking to truly connect with a Filipino audience, translating into Tagalog is a wise investment. Simultaneously, if you’re a Filipino company targeting overseas expansion, trust a professional Tagalog translator for natural-sounding translations into Standard English.

Navigating the Challenges of Tagalog Translation

When English speakers hear that Tagalog has no gender and doesn’t decline verbs for person, they may believe Tagalog is a grammatically simple language. But they’re wrong—Tagalog is remarkably complicated and difficult for English speakers to learn. Like many Austronesian languages, including Hawaiian and Māori, Tagalog verbs come at the beginning of the sentence, although Tagalog’s case particles allow for flexible positioning of the subject, object, and any complements. Tagalog follows its own unique structure, not aligning with the nominative–accusative structure of most European languages nor the ergative structure common to indigenous Australian languages.

What characterizes Tagalog is the focus system, where prefixes, suffixes, infixes, and circumfixes are attached to verbs to put focus on a given aspect of the sentence, such as the actor, patient, or an oblique complement. These focus affixes are split up across different categories of actor and patient focus as well as verbal aspect. Tagalog also features unique grammatical moods, including the social and distributive moods. All the complications of Tagalog make clear the need for professional translators—and our Tagalog translation team, filled with highly experienced translation experts, is the solution.
