Professional Serbian Translation Services

English and Serbian have many differences between them which poses a unique challenge in English to Serbian translation. Firstly, there is a coexistence of two writing systems for the Serbian language, known as synchronic digraphia. Both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts are actively used today and professional Serbian translators must understand both scripts and their characters intuitively. In addition, the Serbian language uses a unique grammatical patterning. All Serbian nouns are given one of three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, or neuter. Nouns also have seven cases, whereas the English language uses only five. Inflection is then used to represent the noun’s number, making things more complicated as we translate English to Serbian. On the other hand, Serbian verbs lack tenses, and meaning can easily be misconstrued with incorrect conjugation. Additional challenges arise as Serbia is extremely similar to Croatian and Bosnia, similar to how American and British English compare. Serbian translation services must use precise spellings of words, so they don’t accidentally translate to either of these similar languages by mistake.
