Latin is unlike most of the languages we translate, in that it
is widely considered an extinct language. So the professional Latin
translators we employ don't live in-country as such or speak the
living language, as 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
English to Latin, or Latin to English 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 all your work.

The Latin language
Although now widely considered to be an extinct language, with
very few fluent speakers and almost no native ones, Latin is still
widely used. Ecclesiastical Latin for example, is still the
official 'national' language of Vatican City. Latin has exerted a
major influence on many other languages spoken throughout the world
and is still used 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.
High quality Latin translation
To ensure that you receive the highest 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.
