Professional Catalan Translation for Every Market Segment
Catalan is spoken by approximately 10 million people across Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community, and Andorra, where it is the sole official language. It is co-official alongside Spanish in four Spanish autonomous communities.
Catalan for regional identity
Catalonia is one of Spain's most economically productive regions and a significant hub for technology, tourism, healthcare, and international business. Communicating in Catalan demonstrates respect for the local culture and creates trust with Catalan-speaking audiences who value their language's distinct identity.
Our Catalan translation team
We provide Catalan translation with native linguists who understand the cultural and legal context of each Catalan-speaking region. We cover legal and compliance content, business and corporate documentation, marketing and advertising, website localization, e-commerce product content, and medical and pharmaceutical translation.
Legal compliance in Catalonia and other regions sometimes requires documentation in Catalan specifically. Our translators also understand the distinction between standard Catalan and Valencian, which is co-official in Valencia but carries its own conventions. Interpretation services are available in Barcelona and Valencia.
Civil records and company documents for a Spanish Registro Civil, a Catalan public body or a US state agency can be ordered as certified document translations, and the receiving office decides what it accepts.
Regional Variants Covered
We match each project to a translator from the target region. Every variant below is covered by native linguists.
- Standard Catalan (Catalonia)
- Valencian (Valencia)
- Balearic Catalan

Catalan Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Why can you not use Spanish translation for a Catalan-speaking audience?
Catalan and Spanish are distinct Romance languages with different vocabulary, grammar, and cultural identity. While most Catalan speakers also speak Spanish, addressing a Catalan audience in Spanish is often perceived as dismissive of their language and culture.
For legal compliance, certain regional regulations require documents to be available in Catalan. Using Catalan demonstrates genuine market commitment.
What is the difference between Catalan and Valencian?
Valencian is considered a dialect of Catalan by linguists but is co-official as a separate language in the Valencian Community under Spanish law. The two are mutually intelligible but differ in vocabulary, some grammar, and orthographic conventions. For content targeting Valencia, we use Valencian-specific conventions.
For content targeting Catalonia, we use standard Catalan.
Do we handle Catalan translation for legal compliance?
Yes. In Catalonia and other co-official regions, specific regulations may require business documents, product labeling, or public communications to be available in Catalan. We provide legally compliant Catalan translation for consumer-facing materials, regulatory submissions, and official documentation.
