About the Pashto language.
Pashto is one of the official languages of Afghanistan, alongside Dari, and is widely spoken in north-western Pakistan. It is written right to left in a Perso-Arabic script with some letters of its own. Other Iranian languages we translate include Balochi, Dari, Farsi and Hazaragi.
Pashto differs between regions in pronunciation and some vocabulary. Tell us where your readers are. Pashto text runs right to left, so forms, tables and designed documents need to be rebuilt. Our desktop publishing team handles right-to-left typesetting. Afghan documents may be in Pashto, Dari or both, and Pakistani documents are usually in English or Urdu. Tell us what is on the page.
Pashto to English is usually personal, civil and immigration documents. English to Pashto is usually public information and community communication.
Common Pashto documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, identity documents and affidavits. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Certified Pashto translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Pashto translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Pashto translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
