Italian work arrives mainly through machinery, design and consumer goods — Chinese manufacturers supplying or partnering into the Italian market.
Every language pair has its own failure modes. These are the ones that decide whether an Italian deliverable is usable.
Italian technical writing and Italian commercial writing sit far apart in tone. Using one register throughout a document set is a common tell of an under-specified brief.
Italian runs longer than both English and Chinese, with layout consequences for labels, packaging and interface text.
Declarations of conformity, safety instructions and technical files follow EU-wide conventions that carry into the Italian text.
These are not languages we source ad hoc. Italian is taught as a degree subject at Chinese universities and has been for decades, and there is continuous movement of students, professionals and long-term residents between China and the countries where it is spoken. That is the pool the work is staffed from, and it is why the rate reflects the Chinese market rather than an agency markup.
Written by linguists living in the Chinese market, so the output reads as though it was written for its reader rather than translated toward them.
The Chinese source is read by people to whom its vocabulary is ordinary; the Italian is produced or reviewed by a native speaker at L3 and L4.
