Italian in Italy and Switzerland

Italian is the official language of Italy and San Marino, and one of the official languages of Switzerland. It is a Romance language written in the Latin alphabet, and closely related to Latin (see Italian and Latin: how close are they?).

Translating Italian: what to watch for

  • Formal address. Italian uses a formal "you" (Lei) in business and official writing. Documents and correspondence need the formal register throughout.
  • Legal terms. Italian legal documents follow civil-law conventions, so legal terms are translated by linguists who know both systems.
  • Text length. Italian often runs longer than English, which affects layouts, forms and subtitles.

Italian to English and English to Italian translation

Italian to English is usually personal, civil, legal and academic documents, including records needed for citizenship and residency applications. English to Italian is usually business, tender and marketing content.

Certified Italian translation

Common Italian documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Italian translation FAQ

  • Can you certify an Italian translation? Yes, as a certified translation.
  • Do you translate Italian legal documents? Yes, including contracts and powers of attorney. See power of attorney translation.
