Accurate Legal Translation by Tomedes

A new Tomedes client approached us recently, in need of an urgent translation. He had just 24 hours to obtain an English copy of his marriage certificate. As such, our Italian translator stepped up to help. 

Professional Italian Translation 

Tomedes works with expert Italian linguists covering Italian to English translation. For translation into English, as this client required, we use native English speakers. It makes for better quality translations when the translator speaks the target language natively, at least in our experience. 

That experience spans more than a decade, during which time our translation services have helped clients around the globe. We’ve worked hard to build up a network of Italian translators with a range of specialist expertise, from those with medical backgrounds to those who are experts in legal translation.

A Romance language descended from Vulgar Latin, modern-day Italian is spoken as an official language in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino and Vatican City, as well as a minority language in Croatia and Slovenia. Italian is also spoken in parts of Africa, as well as by expats in Australia and the US. 

Within the European Union, Italian is the fourth most widely spoken first language. 13% of the EU population speaks it natively – some 69 million people (of a total of 90 million Italian speakers worldwide). 

The Italian language has rich cultural and historical associations, from opera to the art world. Intrinsically intertwined with the Renaissance (‘il Rinascimento’), it is a language associated with poetry, beauty and cultural advancement. It is also considered by many to be the language of love – an accolade for which it competes with French! 

Nowadays, our Italian translation meets the needs of clients around the world. Italian translation for business clients is particularly popular. Picture Italian exports and pasta, parmesan and wine probably spring to mind. However, Italy’s main export category is precision machinery, which accounts for some 18% of total exports. That’s followed by metals and metal products, at 13%. 

The companies exporting such goods often need to send them on their way with documentation in other languages. That ranges from packaging to operating instructions to health and safety information. Professional translation services play a key role in enabling Italy to trade with the rest of the world in this way, as they do for all countries that export their products and services around the world. 

Certificate Translation for Multiple Needs

Tomedes has translated countless certificates over the years. For marriage certificates to decree absolutes, our certificate translation service has covered the entire romantic spectrum! We also have experience of translating birth certificates, death certificates, education certificates and more – often to tight timescales.
