Important Translation Notes

Technical Terms

Some Italian property terms may not translate perfectly. For example, "appartamento" (apartment), "villa" (villa), "casale" (farmhouse), and "rustico" (rustic property) are common terms you'll encounter.

Square Meters vs Square Feet

Italian property listings use square meters (m²), not square feet. To convert: 1 m² ≈ 10.76 square feet. A 100 m² apartment is approximately 1,076 sq ft.

Form Fields

Contact forms and search filters will also be translated, making it easy to communicate with Italian real estate agents directly from the translated page.

Images and PDFs

Text within images (like floor plans) and PDF documents won't be automatically translated. You may need to download and use a separate translation tool for these materials.
