Italian Translation Services

Say Arrivederci (Goodbye) Communications Gap:
Excellence in Italian Translation Services
Italian is a language of romantic legend.  Just ordering Italian food with a florid Italian accent will certainly not harm the romantically inclined. It is also a working living language spoken mainly in Europe (Italy, Switzerland, Vatican City) and by Italian expats around the world.
LanguageTran has helped many clients over the years to bridge the language divide by providing premier Italian translation services that are affordable, accurate and prompt.
Italian Translations with Peace of Mind 
What do Ferrari, Gucci or Lamborghini have in common? They are all Italian brands known for their high quality and attention to detail. Not unlike these famous brands, translating documentation into and from Italian with a high level of accuracy requires attention to detail, proven work processes, state-of-the-art tools and qualified Italian translation professionals.
LanguageTran, not to be compared with Ferrari, has always strived to provide high-quality, value-driven Italian translations. With a team of specialized Italian translators experienced in legal texts, engineering documents, medical records and many other fields, we have delivered large and small projects, on-time and to our clients’ satisfaction since 2001.
Do Not Underestimate the Italians 
As the 10th largest economy in the world, Italy offers a plethora of opportunities for economic, personal and academic opportunities, ranging from travel and commercial endeavors, to science, technology and medicine. Engaging with this vibrant market will also open or expand your opportunities in the European Union.
Italy’s industries include iron and steel, chemicals, automotive, engineering, art and design, clothing and footwear, ceramics and food, among many others.
Translation Checklist
  • Work with a translation vendor who understands the language and cultural differences. What works in one country does not necessarily work in Italy, even if it is an accurate translation.
  • If your document is written for a specific field, work with a translation team that uses Italian translators who are specialized in that field.
  • Expect an expansion of at least 20% in an English to Italian translation, which has implications for formatting. If you can, write your original content with plenty of white space to accommodate the additional text. This is particularly challenging when translating software strings with limited character space.
  • Translators should be native speakers of the target language and be aware of the new trends in the Italian language, including changes in grammar and its variations across different regions.
Tips for doing business in Italy:
  • Be on time and expect professional treatment.
  • Do not get offended if everyone speaks at the same time, this a common practice.
  • Italians prefer to work with people they know. Try to be introduced by a mutual friend or associate.
  • When communicating by email it is best to do so in Italian. Your contact will likely respond more quickly.
  • August is summer vacation time and it is generally not a good month to do business.
  • Decisions tend to be made at the highest levels. Be aware of internal organization structures and find the decision makers before your meeting.
  • Never show impatience or urgency during negotiations, it will weaken your position.
  • Be prepared to re-discuss terms and conditions after negotiations have been settled. This is a common negotiation tactic in Italy.
  • Exchange business cards only within business environments, not in social occasions.
  • It is rude to turn down invitations to lunch or dinner.
  • Paying the tab at a restaurant is considered a sign of prestige.
