Modern Hebrew, the official language of Israel, is currently spoken by approximately 10 million people in Israel and around the world. What are the characteristics of the Hebrew language? When do you need a Hebrew translation? And who can guarantee the quality of such translations? Here's everything you need to know .
Translation into Hebrew: Origin and Specification of the Language
There are now clear differences between Classical Hebrew and Modern Hebrew. Classical Hebrew is an ancient language and a ritual language used in the Jewish religion. The Torah books are written in Biblical Hebrew, which is considered a “holy language.”
Hebrew is a Semitic language, along with Arabic, Ethiopian, and Aramaic, and also has its own alphabet. The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters and is called abjad because it contains only consonants. Like Arabic, Hebrew is written and read from right to left.
Why translate the text into Hebrew?
Many international companies choose to invest or establish branches in Israel. However, Hebrew is not only spoken in Israel. There are approximately 1 million Hebrew speakers outside of Israel, primarily in Australia, Argentina, North America, and Brazil.
Even if most people are fluent in English, communicating with your target group in their native language can be a very important factor. While English is used in tourism, Hebrew is the language of choice for administrative, legal, financial, commercial, and cultural documents and media. It is also a language with a strong cultural and religious identity.
Whatever your purpose (opening a branch in Israel, internationalizing your business, creating a multicultural team with Hebrew-speaking staff, etc.), we recommend translating your communication materials and website into Hebrew .
