Professional Pashto Translation Services

Pashto is an Eastern Iranian language known in Persian literature as Afghani (افغانی). As some businesses may have an interest to target Pashto communities, it will certainly need to translate English to Pashto to help enter the Afghanistan market. Pashto is a complex language and have many discrepancies with English, making an English to Pashto translation hard to master. One of the main challenges English to Pashto translators face is the Pashto alphabet which is a version of the Perso-Arabic script and uses entirely different characters from the Latin alphabet. The translator must have an advanced knowledge of this right to left writing system as this can affect the formatting and can easily confuse translators that don’t understand its unique complexities. However, the English and Pashto languages descend from the Indo-European language group. This means there are fairly consistent grammatical rules and a similar morphology which makes it slightly easier when we translate Pashto to English. Nevertheless, Pashto does use gendered nouns, different word ordering in sentences, and has multiple levels of formality. Our expert Pashto team has an in-depth knowledge of these nuances and can produce accurate Pashto translations every time.
