Language challenges
What makes Farsi translation challenging?
The US Foreign Service Institute places Persian in Category III, languages with significant differences from English. In translation and localization, the main issues are:
- Right-to-left text mixed with left-to-right numbers, names and code
- The zero-width non-joiner, which Persian needs for correct word shapes
- Unwritten short vowels, so context decides how a word is read
- Polite and formal registers shaped by the custom of taarof
- Persian digits and Solar Hijri dates alongside Western formats
- Choosing Iranian Farsi, Dari or Tajik for the right audience
We confirm the audience first and handle right-to-left layout as part of every project.
Should you translate into Farsi, Dari or Tajik?
Farsi, Dari and Tajik are varieties of the same Persian language, but each country has its own standard. Match the variety to your readers.
| Main country | Script | What differs | When to use it | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farsi (Iranian Persian) | Iran | Perso-Arabic, right to left | The standard for Iranian media, business and government | Content for Iran and most Iranian diaspora readers |
| Dari | Afghanistan | Perso-Arabic, right to left | Some vocabulary, pronunciation and older forms differ from Iranian usage | Content for Afghanistan and Afghan communities |
| Tajik | Tajikistan | Cyrillic, left to right | Different script and many Russian loanwords | Content for Tajikistan |
