Galician is spoken by approximately 2.4 million people, and as one of the official languages of Galicia (located in northern Spain), it has a strong local prevalence that makes Galician translations crucial for accessing and succeeding in Spain’s market. Spain’s Parliament recently moved to allow Galician in its governmental communications, with the language since gaining consideration in Brussels for official status in the European Union. For life science companies, Spain’s strong medical device market and position as Europe’s fourth largest economy make it essential to continue to ensure their products are marketable in Galician-speaking regions and the broader EU market.
Linguistic accuracy, in-depth cultural understanding, subject matter expertise, and localization best practices are all necessary components in ensuring success for any product or service entering the local market. Additionally, high-quality, consistent localization solutions for the Galician language require advanced AI translation technology combined with native, in-country linguists for a quick turnaround time.
Translating the Nuances of Galician Dialects
Most closely related to Portuguese, Galician is an Indo-European language, and while the majority of speakers live in Galicia, some migrant communities exist in the United States, Argentina, Germany, Uruguay, and Germany. While there is some debate regarding whether there are Galician dialects (since they are all mutually intelligible, in general), the variations of Galician are split into different regions: Eastern, Central, and Western. Typically, standard Galician is based on Central Galician; however, it does incorporate some of the western and eastern traits. With so many different cultural nuances that vary across regions, the importance of understanding local communities is critical for ensuring success in whatever product or service is entering the market. Whether you are seeking Galician-to-English translations or English-to-Galician translations, it is essential to ensure the cultural appropriateness and local sophistication of every project entering or expanding from Spain’s market.
Through our in-country, subject matter expert linguists, and with over 20 years of experience, CSOFT understands the importance of distinguishing different dialects of Galician depending on the project.
