ITALIAN TRANSLATION AND LOCALIZATION

The Italian language is a member of the Romance group.  According to Babbel, approximately 30% of words in the English language are of Latin origin, and of all the major Romance languages, Italian remains the most strongly associated with the language of the Romans and has the closest resemblance to Latin.

In order to accurately translate texts from Italian to English, translators must be aware of the numerous cultural and dialect differences.  According to Listen and Learn, the standard dialect of Italian is based on the Tuscan dialect (there are several regional dialects in Italy), and some of them are so different from each other that they’re not mutually intelligible.  Whilst some linguists have suggested that the Sicilian dialect should be classified as its own language.
