Croatian translation services
English–Croatian translator – explore our services
Since joining the European Union in 2013, Croatia has become one of the most dynamic and fast-growing markets in Southeast Europe. It attracts exporters from industries such as construction, food, IT, and tourism. If you’re looking to establish effective communication with Croatian partners, a professional English–Croatian translator can make all the difference. At Omero, we provide comprehensive translation services for companies of all sizes as well as public institutions. We guarantee top-quality translations and fast delivery times.
Croatian written translations
Certified (sworn) translations
Primarily used for official documents and letters requiring certification by a sworn translator.
Specialist translations
For texts in highly specialised fields that demand expert knowledge and domain-specific terminology.
Business translations
For corporate documents, contracts, offers, and product catalogues – often with tight turnaround times.
Croatian interpreting services
Simultaneous interpreting
Delivered in real time. The interpreter listens to the speaker through headphones and relays the content to the audience instantly. Ideal for international conferences, training sessions, or multilingual meetings.
Consecutive interpreting
Done segment by segment, without headsets or equipment. The interpreter listens and then repeats what was said. Commonly used for business meetings and negotiations. We also offer whispered interpreting and certified interpreting for use in legal or official settings.
Croatian – what you should know about the language
Croatian is a South Slavic language spoken by about 6 million people, primarily in Croatia, but also by Croatian communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, Italy, and other countries. Its spelling follows the “write-as-you-speak” rule, which means words are pronounced exactly as they are written. The language has three main dialects: Shtokavian (basis of the standard language), Kajkavian, and Chakavian. Croatian sounds different in Zagreb, Dalmatian islands, and Istria, but all Croats understand the standard variety.
Despite many Croatian words appearing familiar to English speakers, the language includes plenty of “false friends” – terms that look or sound similar to English but have different meanings. For this reason, many companies choose professional Croatian translation services instead of relying on basic machine translation or bilingual dictionaries.
English–Croatian collaboration keeps growing
Since Croatia joined the EU on July 1, 2013, its relations with English-speaking countries have gained political and economic momentum. Both nations co-lead the Three Seas Initiative, and Croatia maintains a NATO presence in Poland. In 2019, Poland ranked sixth among Croatia’s import sources, and Polish businesses have invested in Rijeka Port and factories like Press Glass in Varaždin. Meanwhile, tourism is booming – in 2024, over 1.16 million Polish tourists visited Croatia, making them the fourth-largest group.
Cross-border collaboration also includes engineering, infrastructure, and IT projects funded by the EU, and Croatian publishers are increasingly interested in English-language literature. This creates a growing need for professional Croatian translators.
Demand is high for translation of contracts, technical specs, compliance certificates, e-commerce platforms, and tourism materials. A skilled English–Croatian translator – whether a native speaker or experienced linguist – ensures not only linguistic accuracy but also legal compliance and cultural relevance for the local market.
At OMERO, we provide detailed content reviews, use translation memory tools, and follow stringent QA procedures to minimise costly errors and ensure consistency across all communication channels. Investing in professional Croatian translation services gives your company a clear advantage in this fast-evolving Adriatic market.
