About Albanian translation
Albanian for the audience you are actually addressing
Albanian is unique since it has no close Indo-European relatives. However, around 7.5 million people speak it across Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and a substantial diaspora.
At GoLocalise, we work with Albanian translators and review every text with a second linguist before delivery. Where a project is aimed specifically at Kosovo, we assign translators familiar with the vocabulary and institutional terminology used there.
How can we help you?
Your project manager has everything covered
One point of contact from brief to delivery, and a second linguist on every text before it reaches you.
Brief review
We review your source material, your target market, and any terminology you already use.
Linguist assignment
Your project goes to a native Albanian translator with experience in the relevant field and the right regional familiarity.
Translation and review
The text is translated and then checked by a second native linguist.
Delivery
Your translated files in the format you need, on budget and on time.
Regional varieties
Gheg, Tosk and the written standard
Albanian divides into Gheg in the north, covering Kosovo, North Macedonia, and northern Albania, and Tosk in the south. Standard Albanian is built on Tosk, and it is the written form taught in schools and used in publishing and government on both sides of the divide, which makes it the correct default for almost every commercial project.
Varieties we cover
- Standard Albanian (Tosk-based)
- Kosovo Albanian
- Gheg (spoken varieties)

The voiceovers we receive are of a very high quality and the turnaround is extremely quick. We are very happy to recommend GoLocalise to other businesses.
It was a pleasure to work with David and the team at GoLocalise. David gave me lots of help and advice, guiding me through my first subtitling project. He really knows his stuff! The experience was completely pain-free. I would not hesitate to recommend GoLocalise – outstanding work at a good price.
They're reliable, adaptive and obsessed with quality. And while you can never be 100% guaranteed of perfection, you can be sure GoLocalise will go the extra mile to get it right every time.

Learn moreMost common questions
For written material, neither question usually arises: standard Albanian, which is based on Tosk, is the written form used across Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. Gheg is very much alive in speech and in some regional media, but it is not the standard for documents, marketing, or published content. If your project is spoken rather than written, such as a voice over or a dubbing script, the question becomes relevant and we will raise it.
