About the Punjabi language.
Punjabi is spoken across the Punjab region, which is divided between Pakistan and India. It is written in two scripts. In India it uses Gurmukhi, written left to right. In Pakistan it uses Shahmukhi, a Perso-Arabic script written right to left.
Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi are not interchangeable. Tell us whether your readers are in India or Pakistan, or which script the source document uses. Many official documents from Pakistan are in English or Urdu, and many from India are in English or Hindi. Tell us what is on the page. Shahmukhi text runs right to left. Our desktop publishing team handles right-to-left and Indic typesetting.
Punjabi to English is usually personal, civil and community documents. English to Punjabi is usually community, public information and business content.
Common Punjabi documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates 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.
