Italian Document Translation in Toronto
Italian elides articles and prepositions before a vowel, so the shape of a line changes with the word that follows it.
- Written scope before work
- Independent review of every page
- Encrypted delivery with a control note
Reading the pair
What changes first on Italian pages
Italian requests are read for elision and kept names before scope.
Italian elides and contracts articles and prepositions (l'opera, d'accordo, nella), and the form depends on the next word. Italian doubles consonants for emphasis and meaning (pala and palla are different words).
Italian design and fashion text often keeps material names and brand names in the original language. Italian name particles di, da and de are lowercase and part of the surname.
Scope control
What the scope fixes for Italian sets
The scope names the elision rule, the kept-name list and the name-particle policy.
- 01Page list
Every page that carries Italian text is counted before the quote is prepared.
- 02Direction on the page
The page is read in the order the Italian original sets, not in the order an English draft would.
An English line break can separate an elided form from the word it belongs to, so breaks follow Italian rules. A single or double consonant changes the word, so spelling is checked against the source rather than normalised.
The scope names the Italian points above in writing; no page is added silently.
Document set
Where the Italian difference lands on the page
Translating a material name can make a product description wrong, so names that function as labels are kept.
Capitalising or dropping them changes the name, so the form on the source page is kept.
Checks on the page
The checks a reviewer can make on Italian pages
Line ends are proofed for elided forms. Double consonants are checked in the term list and on the page.
Workflow

- 02Review

FAQ
Questions before the first Italian request
Short answers to questions about Italian document translation before the first Italian set is read.
Do you keep Italian material names?
Names that work as labels are kept, and every kept name is listed in the control note. The same answer applies to Italian document translation.
Are Italian accents proofed on the page?
Yes. Accents and elided forms are part of the word and are proofed on every page.
How is a surname with di or de handled?
The form printed on the source is kept, including the lowercase particle.
Which pages are named in the scope for Italian?
Only the pages named in the scope for Italian; a page added after the scope is fixed is quoted as new work.
