One Market, Many Languages

When companies think about expanding into Romania, language strategy often starts and ends with Romanian. But here’s what many don’t realize: while Romanian is the official language, the country is home to a rich patchwork of linguistic communities—especially Hungarian and German speakers.

This isn’t about expanding your market into minority-language territories. It’s about recognizing that when you work with a Romanian translation agency, you’re tapping into far more than just Romanian language expertise.

Romania’s Real Linguistic Composition

Romania is a multilingual country. Here’s what that means in practical terms:

• Hungarian is spoken by over a million people, primarily in Transylvania. In counties like Harghita and Covasna, it’s used in schools, signage, and official communication.

• German, though spoken by a smaller population today, has deep roots in Romania’s cultural and economic history, particularly in regions like Sibiu and Banat. There are still German-language schools, newspapers, and business ties.

• Other recognized minority languages include Serbian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Tatar, Slovak, Bulgarian, and others. These communities, while smaller, maintain active linguistic presence in their regions—through education, public signage, local media, and administrative use.

This linguistic diversity isn’t just historical trivia—it’s part of Romania’s modern business environment.

Why This Matters to Multinational Companies

Whether you’re already operating in Romania or planning to enter, you’ll inevitably face multilingual needs—sometimes not even within the Romanian market itself.

For example:

• You might be working with partners in Hungary or Germany from your Romanian base.

• Your product manuals may need to support Romanian, Hungarian, and German-speaking teams.

• Legal documents may need to be localized for multiple jurisdictions across the region.

Here’s the good news: you don’t need to juggle multiple vendors across Europe. A Romanian translation provider can often handle all of this from one place.
