Latvian Translation
English to Latvian Translation Projects
We assist organizations with documentation or marketing material (e.g. brochures, manuals, website content, PowerPoint presentations, product labeling, etc.) that are written in Latvian and require accurate translation into English.
Of course, in addition to English to Latvian and Latvian to English translation assignments, we can also assist you with the translation of the world's most popular languages to and from Latvian: Arabic ↔ Latvian; Spanish ↔ Latvian; French ↔ Latvian; German ↔ Latvian; Italian ↔ Latvian; Portuguese ↔ Latvian; Russian ↔ Latvian; Japanese ↔ Latvian; Chinese ↔ Latvian; Hindi ↔ Latvian; to name but the most popular... We can source translation expertise for virtually any language pair.
Latvian Language Style
Our translators, editors and proofreaders render well-written and clearly understandable texts. We place a high value on rendering a finished product that is faithful to the language style of the original text.
Latvian to English Translation Projects
We assist businesses in finding the best available Latvian to English language translation resources – including experienced Latvian language translators (native-speaking Latvian if appropriate or required).
In our experience, a Latvian language native-speaker may not necessarily be the right translator for the job. (See: Common myths and misconceptions about translation.) Though a native-speaker may be preferable for certain translation assignments, having Latvian as a native language may not 'translate into' Latvian language expertise (pun intended). An experienced linguist with strong Latvian and English language translation credentials, in-depth experience and professional credentials, regardless of native language, may often prove to be a better choice.
Identifying and securing the services of the appropriate Latvian language resources is what we do! (Refer to our Latvian translation assignment process for information on our Latvian translation project management process).
In a nutshell, we use professional translators who have a solid mastery of the Latvian language (grammar, spelling, cultural nuances) and a solid understanding of the subject matter.
Once we are confident that the appropriate freelance resources have been identified and certain that we can honour the project deadline, we submit a quote for the translation assignment.
If we cannot secure the appropriate resources, we will do our best to refer you to Latvian translation sources of information that we have confidence in.

The Latvian Language Landscape
Population of Latvia: 2,245,423 (July 2008 est.)
Language: Latvian
Internet country code: .lv
Internet users: 21.071 million (2006)
The Latvian language is the official state language of Latvia. Alternative names include Lettish and Lettisch. There are about 1.5 million native Latvian speakers in Latvia and about 150,000 abroad. The Latvian language has a relatively large number of non-native speakers, atypical for a small language. Because of language policy in Latvia approximately 60% of the 900,000 ethnic-minority population of Latvia speak Latvian. The use of the Latvian language in various areas of the social life in Latvia is increasing.
Latvian is a Baltic language, closely related to Lithuanian; however, they are not mutually intelligible to each other.
Latvian first appeared in Western print in the mid-16th century with the reproduction of the Lord's Prayer in Latvian in Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia Universalis, in Roman script.
