English to Catalan  translation services

With over 10 million speakers, Catalan belongs to the Western Romance Group of languages. It is derived from Vulgar Latin. It is the official language of Andorra and is recognized as a co-official language in Catalonia, the Valencian Community, and the Balearic Islands- the three autonomous communities of Spain. In the Valencian Community and Carche in Spain, the language is also called Valencian. Catalan speaking regions are often clubbed together and named Paisos Catalans or ‘Catalan Countries’. Catalan translation services can help your businesses reach out to the Catalan audience more effectively. 

An economy powered by finance and tourism, Andorra is economically significant in the landscape of Europe. The tourism sector is well developed and attracts close to 13 million tourists every year.

Handicrafts, furniture, and tobacco products constitute the main export industries in the country.

Catalan is very similar to Spanish and is often spoken in overlapping regions. In the province of Catalonia which is also home to the iconic Barcelona FC, most people are bilingual in Spanish and Catalan. Both languages have more or less similar syntax structures and a high level of lexical resemblance. However, this does not imply that both languages are mutually intelligible. To the uninformed Spanish speaker or for non-native speakers, Catalan is mostly unintelligible.

However, speaking Catalan is more than just about communication for the people of Catalonia. Prioritizing Catalan over Spanish for them is a political and revolutionary act because for a very long time Spanish rulers suppressed the public expression of Catalan in the country. Thus the language assumes an important cultural and political value, which makes translation services more important.
