Islamic Languages

The Islamic language group spans the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia and parts of Africa - a vastly diverse linguistic region that requires careful dialectal precision. Translating just "into Arabic" is not sufficient for professional work (typically needing colloquial nuances): Egyptian Arabic, Gulf Arabic, Levantine Arabic and Moroccan Darija are as distinct from one another as Portuguese is from Spanish. Semantics Trans maintains specialist translators for all major Arabic dialects, as well as the "Modern Standard Arabic" for pan-Arab formal content, which is common to all Arabic speaking countries

Beyond Arabic, our coverage includes all three Kurdish dialects (Kurmanji, Sorani and Bahdini), specific to Turkey/Iraq/Iran/Syria, three Baluchi dialects (Rakshani, Makurani and Suleimani), Farsi and Dari/Pashto as distinct varieties, and both Indian and Pakistani Urdu. For Turkish translations, we provide both EU regulatory and consumer market expertise.

All our translators in this group are native speakers with documented and proven subject-matter expertise - particularly important for the legal, pharmaceutical, energy and humanitarian sectors, where these languages are most in demand (typically in USA, UK and EU countries).
