Latin translation you can trust.
Latin is unlike most of the languages we translate, in that it’s an extinct language. So the professional Latin translators we employ don’t live in-county as such or speak the living language, that’s no longer possible.
You can rest assured that your Latin documents are still translated by professional linguists who are experts in the Latin language.
To ensure that your translated Latin documents, whether they are being translated from English or Latin are as accurate as possible, we follow very stringent guidelines:
- Only translators who have proven experience of the subject of your documents will work on them
- You will have an experienced linguistically trained Project Account Manager dedicated to your all your work
High quality Latin translation
To ensure that you receive the high quality Latin translation we run every translation through our stringent language quality checks.
We are ISO9001 and DIN EN 15038 accredited which means that we use Europe wide best practice and standards.
In addition to this we are also members of the American Translators Association and an Associate Member of the Association of Translation Companies. These industry bodies ensure that we comply with their ethical standards and codes of practice.
We also make a huge investment in continual training and development for all our staff. To demonstrate this we have been given the prestigious Investor in People award. This award is not handed out lightly and the whole team at Applied Language had to put a lot of hard work into achieving the strict working standards required by the examining board.
The Latin language
Although now widely considered to be an extinct language, with very few fluent speakers and almost no native ones. Ecclesiastical Latin however, is still the official, 'national' language of Vatican City. Latin has exerted a major influence on many other languages spoken through the world and continues to see limited use in academia, medicine, scientific classification and law.
Over 50% of English language, in common use, is taken, directly or indirectly, from the Latin language.
The Romance languages are directly descended from Latin, and many words adapted from Latin are found in other modern languages. Italian unsurprisingly, is thought to be the purest descendant of Latin in terms of vocabulary.
