Maltese Translation Considerations
When translating Maltese documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Maltese documents are often bilingual in Maltese and English, as both are official languages of Malta; confirm which version requires translation.
The Maltese alphabet has unique characters (\xc4\x8a/\xc4\x8b, \xc4\xa0/\xc4\xa1, \xc4\xa6/\xc4\xa7, \xc5\xbb/\xc5\xbc) that must be rendered correctly and not replaced with similar-looking letters.
Maltese has absorbed many Italian legal and administrative terms; a translator should be familiar with both Maltese and the Italian-influenced legal register.
Maltese uses the Latin alphabet with 30 letters, including \xc4\x8a/\xc4\x8b, \xc4\xa0/\xc4\xa1, G\xc4\xa7/\xc4\xa7, and \xc5\xbb/\xc5\xbc. The letter \xc4\xa1 is a silent letter that lengthens adjacent vowels. H is generally silent except in \xc4\xa7. Requires Unicode Latin Extended-A support for the unique characters. Fonts such as Noto Sans, DejaVu, or any major font with extended Latin support will work.
