English to Italian translation tips

Italian drops subject pronouns and inflects endings for gender and number, so translations must recover who is doing what from context and keep agreements consistent. English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out.
Italian often omits subject pronouns because the verb ending identifies the person and number. Retain a pronoun only when contrast, emphasis or clarity calls for it.
Use tu for familiar singular address and Lei with third-person singular verbs for formal singular address. This bundle capitalizes formal object pronouns in correspondence for clarity, although contemporary practice varies.
Articles and adjectives agree with nouns in gender and number, and compound tenses with essere normally mark that agreement on the past participle.
This bundle uses contemporary Standard Italian as used in Italy; it does not attempt to reproduce regional Italian or dialect.

Should an Italian translation use tu or Lei?

Name the relationship and desired register. Tu takes second-person singular forms, while formal Lei takes third-person singular forms even when the pronoun itself is omitted.

Why can an Italian sentence omit words such as io or noi?

Italian verb endings usually identify the subject. Adding the pronoun can create contrast or emphasis that was not present in the English source.
