Greek

The Importance of Greek Translation Services

Precise translations are more than a sign of respect; they’re the bridge that ensures your message speaks fluently and harmoniously in the target language, for the target audience. With Greek being such a foundational language to Western culture and thought, both of these points are particularly important when performing translations for the Greek language. Additionally, Greek is a language with over 13 million native speakers and is the official language of both Greece and Cyprus. It’s also native to Albania, Calabria, Salento, and other regions of the Balkans. If nothing else, this is a big market that is important to consider in your branding and messaging efforts, and accurate translations are a thoughtful and accessible way to reach the Greek-speaking audience.

History of the Greek Language

Greek is a beyond-ancient language, with its roots tracing back to around 2000 BC. “Pro-Greek” is an early and unrecorded predecessor to the Greek language that would eventually evolve into several pre-modern Greek languages. The earliest recorded accounts of a Greek language are found around 1600 BC, and “Ancient Greek” saw its development from around 800-600 BC.

The fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Byzantine Empire pushed the language into its Medieval period. Various changes and developments, as well as the influence of the Greek War of Independence, would come to introduce what we might call Modern Greek. This most recent version of the language is the contemporary form of Greek, and it is the version spoken throughout the Greek-speaking world today.

The Importance of Cultural Understanding in Translation

Language translations can be rather difficult, and a big reason for this is that different languages are not just different sets of words to describe the same things. Different languages form in their contexts to describe specific experiences and phenomena in specific ways, meaning that languages that form far apart from one another may have a difficult time describing concepts in the other language.

This is what makes direct translations sound odd or even incoherent. Often, there is no direct translation that makes a lot of sense. Instead, it is important to have cultural understanding in either language and to know which concepts can be used to describe the same phenomena in both languages. This cultural understanding is what makes translations, and just the language at all, feel natural and coherent.
