About the Sanskrit language.
Sanskrit is the classical language of India, the language of the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, and of centuries of philosophy, science, law and poetry. It is one of India's 22 scheduled languages and is still taught in schools and universities and used in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain ritual. Other Indo-Aryan languages we translate include Assamese, Awadhi, Bengali and Bhojpuri.
Sanskrit is usually written in Devanagari today, but manuscripts and inscriptions use many other scripts across South and Southeast Asia. Academic work often also needs a romanised transliteration with diacritics (IAST), which we can supply alongside the translation.
Sanskrit work is specialist: religious and ritual texts, verses and inscriptions, academic and research material, certificates from Sanskrit schools and universities, and names and terms in books or ceremonies. Tell us how the translation will be used and we will match the translator.
We translate in both directions, including Sanskrit into English and English into Sanskrit. Indian names are often spelled in more than one way, so we keep them consistent with the passport or other documents you supply. 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 Sanskrit translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Sanskrit 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 Sanskrit 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.
