Table 1. Albatros vs the two other common ways companies source Italian translation.
We deliver English-to-Italian translation and localization across four specializations:
UI strings, documentation, technical content, localization files
Device texts, regulatory documents, clinical content, IFUs
Drawings, specifications, manuals, CAD, automotive, CNC
Ads, web copy, brochures, SEO content, brand voice adaptation
Our translators work with memoQ, SDL Trados 2009/Studio, Catalyst, Passolo, Wordfast, WorldServer, Smartling, Plunet, FrameMaker, and InDesign.
Reliability. Every request is handled in a timely manner. Our deadline compliance ratio close to 100% means you can rely on consistently on-time delivery.
Experience. A team of in-house linguists with 15+ years of full-time experience handling English-to-Italian localization for multi-language providers across Europe and the US.
Measurable quality. Our quality assessment method pinpoints, measures, and logs any quality issues — improving both the work you receive and our team's skills over time.
Specialization. Each translator specializes in one or more subject areas — IT, medical, technical, and marketing.
Translation converts text from one language to another while preserving meaning. Localization adapts the entire product or content for the Italian market — including UI strings, date and number formats, currency, cultural references, tone of voice, and regulatory wording.
Cost depends on word count, subject complexity, file format, and turnaround. Specialized content costs more per word than general marketing copy because it requires domain expertise and terminology control.
We are an in-house human translation team. Every project is handled by a native Italian translator with domain specialization, reviewed by a second in-house linguist, and quality-assessed before delivery.
Yes. Medical and pharmaceutical content is one of our four specializations. We translate device texts, regulatory documents, clinical content, and instructions for use (IFUs) into Italian.
A freelance translator is a single individual — great for a specific project, but if they are unavailable, overloaded, or leave, your work stops or restarts with someone new. An in-house team like Albatros gives you the same translators on every project, consistent terminology, shared glossaries, a second-review process built in, and coverage when one team member is out.
Yes — software and IT localization is one of our core specializations. We handle UI strings, help documentation, release notes, knowledge base content, and localization files for software products.
Albatros Soluzioni Linguistiche is based in San Lazzaro di Savena, Bologna, Italy. Our team of five full-time in-house native Italian translators works from a single office.
