Our Services

The ʻŌlelo Group provides professional Hawaiian language services including translation, transcreation, cultural research, content development, and ongoing consulting. We work with organizations of all sizes — from government agencies and educational institutions to nonprofits, museums, and private-sector businesses — to deliver clear, accurate, and culturally grounded materials in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.

Whether you're launching a public campaign, developing curriculum, or producing bilingual signage, we ensure your message is not only correct — but meaningful, respectful, and aligned with the people and place it represents.
