Language challenges
What makes Armenian translation challenging?
The US Foreign Service Institute places Armenian in Category III, languages with significant differences from English. The main issues in translation are:
- Nouns that change form across several grammatical cases
- Highly inflected verbs that shift with tense, mood and aspect
- Eastern and Western Armenian, with different spelling systems and grammar
- Armenian punctuation, such as a full stop that looks like a colon
- Question and emphasis marks placed over the stressed word
- Fonts and keyboards that must support the Armenian alphabet
Our native linguists confirm the audience first, then apply the right standard and spelling throughout.
Should you translate into Eastern or Western Armenian?
Both forms share one alphabet, but grammar, pronunciation and spelling differ. Choose the form your readers grew up with.
| Eastern Armenian | Western Armenian | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it is used | Armenia, Iran, Russia and other former Soviet countries | Diaspora communities in the Middle East, Türkiye, France and parts of the United States |
| Spelling | Reformed spelling in Armenia; Iranian Armenians keep classical spelling | Classical (Mashtots) spelling |
| Grammar | Its own present-tense and verb forms | Different present-tense and verb forms from Eastern Armenian |
| Pronunciation | Standard consonant values | Several consonant pairs are pronounced the other way round, such as b and p |
| When to use it | Business, government and digital content for Armenia | Community, cultural and heritage content for Western Armenian readers |
