Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Catalan machine translation?
Catalan is a Romance language closely related to both Spanish and Occitan, with well-established digital resources due to its long-standing official status. Modern machine translation handles everyday business and ecommerce content well; the Lingvit editorial dashboard is useful for polishing brand voice and specialized terminology.
Does Lingvit handle Catalan special characters (ร , รจ, รฉ, รญ, รฏ, รฒ, รณ, รบ, รผ, รง, lยทl)?
Yes. All Catalan characters, including accented vowels, the cedilla (รง), and the distinctive geminated l (lยทl, written with a middle dot), are fully supported and render correctly across browsers and devices.
Is Catalan worth localizing to separately from Spanish?
Yes, for products targeting Catalonia specifically. Catalan speakers respond well to native-language products, and offering Catalan alongside Spanish signals attention to a market with strong regional identity and purchasing power, particularly around Barcelona.
