Italian Translation Tips & Challenges
To ensure quality translation services, you need a company that understands the way in which each language is used differently throughout the globe. There are key considerations in translating to or from Italian to keep in mind.
Like many European languages, Italian takes up more room than English for similar words or phrases.
Italian is a very expressive language, which is one of the reasons that the length of text may increase.
Context is also important in translating to and from Italian. Working with native translators will save your translation projects from a cookie-cutter, word-by-word approach.
Many Italian words are used popularly in English, but with slightly changed meanings. It is wrong to assume that an Italian word, as used in English, is an accurate translation for an Italian audience.
There are only 21 letters in the Italian alphabet. The letters j, k, w, x, and y are not in the official Italian language, so if you see these letters in a word in an Italian text, it is likely a word borrowed from another language.
If you have studied classical music, you probably know a fair number of Italian words. Italian is the official language of classical music, with directional terms like forte (loud), crescendo (get louder), and staccato (detached).
Italian Varieties and Dialects
There are about 55 million Italian speakers in Italy, which consists of some regionally specific dialects and accents. There are regional varieties of dialects in Italian and there are distinct local languages in Italy. In addition, the phrase dialetti italiani is used to describe both happenings. The major regional varieties of dialects in Italian include: toscano, abruzzese, pugliese, umbro, laziale, marchigiano centrale, cicolano-reatino-aquilano, and molisano.
The official Italian language is based on the Tuscan dialect. Many of the regional dialects in Italian differ so widely that they’re not mutually intelligible. Some linguists propose that Sicilian should be classified as its own language.
There are another 6.5 million speakers of Italian in different countries throughout the world, including Argentina, Australia, Romania, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and the USA.
Professional Italian Translators
Many of us have used automatic translation services on search engines or on international websites. Allowing Google Translate to give us the idea of what is being said might work for simple words or phrases, but to ignite the possibilities of eCommerce, spur growth for new products, or clarify eLearning concepts, professional translation is a necessity.
Native Italian speakers can gauge the context of documents and projects in a way that automated translation cannot. Our Italian translators are chosen after rigorous testing to determine those with a passion for Italian and English and a deep understanding of both. Excellent communication skills, experience in different subjects, and meticulous grammar and vocabulary skills are required for our translators to work on your projects.
Our rigorous onboarding processes emphasize efficiency without sacrificing accuracy and quality. We require a high level of customer service, and the ability to work with and build on the technological resources we use to enhance and speed-up translation services.
Global consumer brands such as Spotify and Chevron, along with hospitality brands such as Hilton Hotels and Airbnb, use our services to reach Italian-speaking consumers while maintaining brand image and messaging. Our multi-directional approach to your projects ensures timely delivery of translations without sacrificing quality and accuracy. Andovar’s translation tools include computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools to highly qualified Italian translators chosen with the subject-matter expertise for each of your company’s projects. We provide translation for every aspect of business communication, from marketing and multimedia to eLearning, websites, software, and company documents.

Global entertainment companies, like Netflix, and corporate names like HP use our Italian voiceover services for dubbing, narration, and UN-style recording. We offer the full project scope including work with directors and others on pronunciation guides and language quality assurance.
Italian Website Translation Services
Developing a global presence in today's world is difficult without website translation services. While Italian may be one of the more minor languages currently in use on the internet, there is significant room for growth with products in Italian-speaking markets. In 2019, The Digital Economy and Society Index, which tracks the status of EU member states in digital competitiveness indicated that Italy ranked fifth from last within EU member countries. The study noted that three out of ten Italians do not regularly use the internet and more than 50% of the population lack basic digital skills. It also found that one-third of Italian families did not own a laptop, tablet, or computer, with a higher number in the south of Italy. At the time, many may have questioned the need for concern in these areas, but after being particularly hard-hit during the 2020 pandemic, there is a growing understanding of the need for internet service to assist with the decimation of news, accessibility to eLearning resources, and timely distribution of health-related information.
For countries like Italy, providing a wide array of website translation services is vital to the growth of the economy, and can quite literally mean the difference between life and death for many citizens. The potential growth for web-related services is huge, and there is fertile territory for companies willing to invest.
We are skilled in working on a variety of web platforms for eCommerce, content channels, website landing pages, and other corporate website components. Our nuanced translations will give Italian speakers the comfort of using digital media in their native language.
For travel-focused consumers, Andovar customers like Airbnb use translation services to extend the market for their services more effectively. Many companies, like Ciena, rely on translation services for training efforts that make eLearning more fluid across borders.
Italian Software Translation Services
A truly effective software user experience in any language requires a comprehensive effort. If your software is to be accessible, all aspects of your software product should be a part of the translation process. Help and resource files, manuals and tutorials, and all aspects of the user interface need a clear, relevant translation. Having FAQs, video instructions, or an online knowledge base in Italian will help to solidify your position as a business that cares about the user experience for every user, regardless of their language.
Global software powerhouses like Oracle and Microsoft rely on Andovar’s translation services to provide quality language translation services for cloud or server-based software and mobile apps.

While the numbers of gamers in Italy may look smaller compared to other Western European countries, the market penetration is a greater percentage of individuals and growing.

The popularity of online gaming during the 2020 pandemic while many stayed at home has only solidified these trends.
Andovar hires Italian gamers for our game translation services because even the most universally visual game requires familiarization, localization, voiceover, and testing. That's why companies like EA and Gameloft rely on our game translation services. We have experience in every gaming format including PC, console, MMOG, mobile, handheld, and VR environments.

Game developers don’t want the nuance and prose of their dialog to be lost in translated versions. We can oversee all aspects of dialog translation including subtitling, dubbing, and recording.
User Interfaces
The gaming community seeks to engage with other players and with the universe captured by developers. Be sure that your interface provides that bridge to the landscape and fictional world in a way that continues to engage every audience.
Marketing & Advertising
There are official marketing and advertising channels that should be translated as a standard part of any rollout plan for new games. Just don’t forget all the other forms for marketing: social media, video walkthroughs, and tournament sponsorships.
User Reviews
One way to grow new markets is to translate user reviews, so new customers can see how your product is being positively received across the globe. New users put a lot of trust into virtual word-of-mouth from fellow gamers.
Mobile App Descriptions

Regardless of the language, there are always regional differences across the globe and our translators are hired and trained to understand the nuances of the language as it pertains to every service we provide.

Italian Language Facts
Although the country of Italy is relatively small, there are over 67 million Italian speakers throughout the world. It is the 21st most common language in the world. It is the Romance language that remains closest to Latin and became the official language of Italy in 1861. In different regions in Italy, many individuals also speak a local language which may have some commonalities with Italian. For most communications, translating into official Italian is acceptable and appropriate.
Many of the style and grammar rules of Italian are said to trace back to Dante Alighieri, the author of the Divine Comedy (known more popularly as Dante's Inferno). His writing style is said to be the basis for Italian as it came to be written.
Most people know that Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, and many Americans think Ben Franklin "invented" (or discovered electricity with a kite and a key in a thunderstorm. The truth is that the electricity that makes Edison's invention useful without the discovery of Italian Alessandro Volta. That's why a volt is the standard measuring unit of electricity (in both English and Italian).
The recent pandemic has brought internet literacy in Italy to the forefront. While there are pockets of more users, saturation into every region of the country has been slow-going. With widespread lock-downs in 2020 and discussions about the privacy of healthcare information, the country has begun to have a discussion about privacy online as well. Citizens are engaging in discussions about what information should be shared in ways that were not always considered before the pandemic. As businesses become more involved in targeting Italian consumers, understanding both the language and the culture with a qualified Italian translation service will pay bigger dividends down the road.
