greek translation

If you simply want the gist of a Greek webpage or to translate a simple phrase, a basic literal translation from a Greek translator may suffice – there are even online machine translations that can handle Greek translations.

But what if translating to or from Greek underpins the success of your next marketing campaign, expansive commercial literature or a legal document? With so much at stake, including your reputation, can you afford to trust those cheap basic translations?

More than just a Greek translation

A properly done translation is actually about much more than just a literal translation. Your translator should take into account the subtleties of local dialect when they translate Greek, as well as the cultural and social considerations relating to where in the country your translation will be used. When even the biggest global brands can fall foul of bad translation, it makes sense to entrust yours to a specialised translator offering services such as these:

Greece country facts

Background

Greece achieved independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1829. During the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, it gradually added neighboring islands and territories, most with Greek-speaking populations. In World War II, Greece was first invaded by Italy (1940) and subsequently occupied by Germany (1941-44); fighting endured in a protracted civil war between supporters of the king and Communist rebels. Following the latter's defeat in 1949, Greece joined NATO in 1952. In 1967, a group of military officers seized power, establishing a military dictatorship that suspended many political liberties and forced the king to flee the country. In 1974, democratic elections and a referendum created a parliamentary republic and abolished the monarchy. In 1981, Greece joined the EC (now the EU); it became the 12th member of the European Economic and Monetary Union in 2001.
