Italian Translation Services

The Italian language is rich in history. It dates back to at least the 900s, and people throughout the world know many Italian words, even if they don’t always recognize them as Italian. Just ask a resident of the U.S. about a “finale” or the dreaded “diva” in their life. Or point them to some of their favorite foods – “spaghetti,” “pepperoni” or “gelato.” Whether operatic or gastronomic, people worldwide are familiar with Italian.

Italian is also the official language of five countries, and the third most commonly spoken language in the European Union – with about 85 million Italian speakers. As one of the official working languages of the Council of Europe, the Italian language has the status as a major European language. And with native speakers not only across Europe in countries including Switzerland, Croatia and Slovenia, but also in the U.S. and Argentina among other countries. It truly is an international language.

Yet around the world, distinct dialects and regional nuances exist, not only in pronunciation but also in vocabulary. Even within the country, northern, central and southern Italian each have their own distinctives. As a result, effective Italian communication requires an extensive knowledge and understanding of the language – with all of its localized flair. At LubasLab, our team of writers and translators brings that expertise to each project, ensuring that your project is both accurate and audience-appropriate to best serve your needs.
