About the Italian Language

Italian is an official language in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City and western Istria (in Slovenia and Croatia). Italian is also spoken by large expatriate communities in the Americas and Australia. Italian is a major European language, being one of the official languages of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe and one of the working languages of the Council of Europe.

It is the third most widely spoken first language in the European Union with 69 million native speakers. Including Italian speakers in non-EU European countries (such as Switzerland and Albania) and on other continents, the total number of Italian speakers is around 90 million

Throughout Italy, regional variations of Standard Italian, called Regional Italian, are spoken. In Italy, almost all the other languages spoken as the vernacular — other than standard Italian and some languages spoken among immigrant communities — are often imprecisely called "Italian dialects", even though they are quite different, with some belonging to different linguistic branches. The only exceptions to this are twelve groups considered "historical language minorities", which are officially recognized as distinct minority languages by the law. On the other hand, Corsican (a language spoken on the French island of Corsica) is closely related to Tuscan, from which Standard Italian derives and evolved.

The differences in the evolution of Latin in the different regions of Italy can be attributed to the presence of three other types of languages: substrata, superstrata, and adstrata. The most prevalent were substrata (the language of the original inhabitants), as the Italian dialects were most likely simply Latin as spoken by native cultural groups. Superstrata and adstrata were both less important. Foreign conquerors of Italy that dominated different regions at different times left behind little to no influence on the dialects. Foreign cultures with which Italy engaged in peaceful relations with, such as trade, had no significant influence either.

Regional differences can be recognized by various factors: the openness of vowels, the length of the consonants, and influence of the local language (for example, in informal situations the contraction annà replaces andare in the area of Rome for the infinitive "to go"; and nare is what Venetians say for the infinitive "to go").

Italian Document Translation

While standard Italian based on the Tuscan dialect is used for all official documents, regional influences can appear in older municipal records from areas like Sicily, Sardinia, or the Veneto. Some historical documents may contain dialect terms or Latin phrases, particularly church-issued records predating Italy's civil registry system established in 1866.

Italian Document Types

Key Italian civil documents include certificato di nascita (birth certificate), certificato di matrimonio (marriage certificate), and certificato di laurea (degree certificate).

Italian is the official language of Italy, San Marino, and one of four official languages of Switzerland. It is also an official EU language and holds co-official status in parts of Slovenia and Croatia. Document conventions vary between Italian and Swiss-Italian jurisdictions.

Industry Requirements

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces consumer protection laws including product labelling and safety standards. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) sets food labelling requirements, and the Australian Border Force (ABF) manages import compliance for goods entering Australia.

Commonly translated documents include product labels and packaging for imported goods (mandatory under Australian Consumer Law), e-commerce terms and conditions for multilingual websites, supplier contracts and purchase orders with international manufacturers, customs declarations and import documentation, product safety certifications, and consumer warranty information.

Product labelling translations must meet Australian Consumer Law accuracy requirements, though NAATI certification is not typically mandatory for commercial labels. Customs documentation may require certified translation for disputed classifications, and import licences or permits in foreign languages need certified translation for ABF processing.

Perth's retail sector imports heavily from Asia, with Fremantle Port handling consumer goods from China, South-East Asia, and Japan. The growing Asian grocery and specialty retail scene in suburbs like Northbridge, Victoria Park, and Balcatta generates demand for product label translations, and WA-based e-commerce businesses expanding into Asian markets require website and marketing content translation.
