Italian belongs to the Romance language family along with French, Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan and many others. It is worth noting that without the influence of Sicilian poets such as Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca and Giovanni Boccaccio, the evolution of Italian would have taken much longer. Italian has more than 62 million speakers worldwide. It is factors such as these that increase the demand for an Italian translation company.
Translation from Italian into Spanish
One of the advantages of Italy for Italian translations is that it is a neighbouring country. Moreover, it is an influential country thanks to its politics, economy, culture and geographical strategy.
Spain and Italy have commercial relations that are beneficial for both countries. Due to this close relationship, the need for an Italian translation company arises.
Although Italian and Spanish are very similar, one should not be complacent. In order for an Italian translation to be of high quality, it is necessary to have professional translators at an Italian translation company. Having a translation done by a machine translator will not yield the same result as one done by a qualified professional.
That is why, at Italian translation companies such as Translinguo GlobalĀ® we have professionals qualified in Italian translation in various fields. If you need an Italian translation, do not hesitate to contact us and ask for a quote.
Italian characteristics
Being a language belonging to the Indo-European languages, Italian is similar to French because its origin is the combination of several dialects. Although this language is very similar to Spanish and French, there are some peculiarities that make the interpreting process more difficult for an Italian translation company:
-
- The only letters that do not appear in the Italian alphabet are K, J, W, X and Y;
- Lexicon. Instead of forming the past tense by adding -s or -es, -i or -e is added depending on the ending of the word;
- This language shares 89% of its vocabulary with French, which is why Italian translation is so enjoyable;
- Language and dialect. It is estimated that there are about 30 dialects of Italian. Among all the derivations of Italian, the most widely spoken is Neapolitan with approximately five million speakers;
- Official language. It was not until the 20th century that Italian became an official language;
- The longest word in this language is “Sovramagnificentissimamente”, which means “much more than magnificent”.
