About Italian translation
Italian that reads as though it was written in Italian
Register shifts markedly between commercial, technical, and institutional Italian in ways a literal translation flattens. Institutional Italian in particular remains far more formal than its English equivalent, and a campaign script translated at that register reads as bureaucratic rather than persuasive.
At GoLocalise, we work with native Italian translators matched to the subject matter of each project. Every translation goes through review by a second linguist before it reaches you, so what you receive has been read by someone other than the person who wrote it.
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 audience, and any existing terminology or style guides you work with.
Linguist assignment
Your project goes to a native Italian translator with experience in the relevant field.
Translation and review
The text is translated and then reviewed by a second native linguist for accuracy, consistency, and register.
Delivery
Your translated files in the format you need, on budget and on time.
Regional varieties
Italy, Switzerland and the smaller markets
Around 67 million people speak Italian natively, with another 13 million learning it as a second language, across Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, and Vatican City. Translating into it well means more than accuracy.
Standard Italian covers all four for almost all commercial and corporate purposes. Swiss Italian carries some administrative and everyday vocabulary differences, so for public sector or institutional video aimed at Ticino we recommend a market-specific review.
Areas of expertise
What we translate
From corporate video and eLearning to documentary, advertising and subtitles — always audiovisual, and always at the register the material calls for.
Corporate and brand video
Company films and internal communications, at the register your organisation actually uses on screen.
eLearning and training video
Course modules and training films, consistent from one module to the next.
Documentary and interviews
Factual programming and interviews, where institutional Italian and everyday speech sit in the same programme.
Advertising and social video
Campaigns written to persuade, not translated at a register that reads as bureaucratic.
Subtitles and captions
Frame-accurate subtitles, cued and timed to the picture.
Voice over and dubbing scripts
Scripts timed to the original, ready for a native Italian voice in the booth.
Deliverables
How your Italian translation arrives
Subtitle files
SRT, VTT, STL or TTML, burnt in or as separate files, ready to drop into your edit.
Terminology agreed upfront
Your glossary, or one we build, with brand and product names confirmed at the brief rather than queried afterwards.
Dual-column scripts
Source and target side by side with timecodes, the format the studio records from.
Reviewed, never single-pass
Every script is checked by a second native linguist before it reaches the studio.

We have used GoLocalise on a regular basis for projects in a number of languages. The service we receive is great. The team is always friendly and professional. 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. We've worked with them now for over 5 years and we are truly thankful to have such a strong localisation partner for our business.
