Today the Romanian language is the only descendant of
Latin in Southeast Europe. The second Romanic language originating from this
part of Europe – Dalmation – disappeared at the end of the XIX century.
Although isolated from the western Roman world, Romanian language kept its
strong Latin character.
Romanian is the official language of Romania, although
several polemics have recently animated the public debate over whether the
minor languages spoken on Romanian territory should become official too. The Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights states
that every linguistic community has the right for its language to be used as an
official language in its territory. Hungarians in Romania are the largest
ethnic community, representing 6.5% of the population, however Hungarian is not
considered an official language of the Romanian state
yet.
Since Romania joined the European Union in 2007 –
along with Bulgaria – there has been an increasing demand for Romanian interpreting services.
European institutions needed to fill the new vacant Romanian booth, and the
enlargement of the free market within the Union gave a boost to business
relations with Eastern Europe. Commerce needs interpreters to grow and develop
international partnerships. Moreover, starting a business in Romania is
definitely much easier and cheaper than in any other European country. Romanian start-ups have recently figured among the
most promising in Europe.
Since Romania joined the Union, many Italian and
German companies moved their businesses there. Most of their production is
actually undertaken in Romania.
Although English is the language of business, you need
the support of a Romanian interpreter if you aim to start up a company there,
because you will require more than a simple language translation. A Romanian interpreter knows the local etiquette, can easily handle negotiations, and can
help you by developing strong business relationships. Also consider that the
majority of business involves overlapping local bureaucracies, and therefore it
wouldn’t be that easy without the support of a .
At the same time, Romanian entrepreneurs – especially
in the information technology sector – are aiming for the global market and
they also require language interpreters to develop their businesses abroad. For
this purpose, Romanian education is giving a priority to all subjects related
to economics, and it is indeed stimulating the study of foreign languages.
