Latvian Translation

Latvian is a Baltic language related to Lithuanian and Old Prussian with about 1.4 million speakers in Latvia. There are also Latvian speakers in the USA, Russia, Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK, Sweden, Lithuania, Ukraine, Estonia, Brazil and Belarus.

The first Latvian dictionary, Lettus, was compiled in 1638. The German monks who wrote these texts used a version of the the Fractur alphabet adapted from German which was ill suited to the Latvian language. This alphabet was used until the mid 1930s, when it was replaced with a modified version of the Latin alphabet.

Latvian has been one of the languages of the European Parliament since 2004, when Latvia joined the European Union.

Latvian is one of the emerging languages for business in Europe. Latvian is one of the languages occasionally translated by Comms Multilingual. Latvian translation projects have included work on advertisements, brochures, instructions for mobile phones, commercial documents and typesetting.
