Dari translation

Dari Translation for Afghan Audiences.

Native Afghan linguists for resettlement, health, legal and media content, written in Afghan Dari rather than Iranian Farsi and reviewed by a second native linguist.

Quick Answer

Can I Use Farsi Translation for Dari Speakers?

Dari and Iranian Farsi are forms of the same Persian language, and speakers understand each other, but vocabulary, spelling and some grammar differ. Afghan readers notice Iranian terms at once, so health, legal and settlement material should be translated into Dari by Afghan linguists.

Common mistakes

Where Dari Projects Go Wrong

Most problems in Dari projects come from a few predictable gaps. This is what we check on every file.

Farsi is delivered as Dari. Iranian terms and spelling make the text read as foreign to Afghan readers.
Right to left layout breaks. Mixed English and Dari lines, numbers and punctuation can reverse, so we check the final PDF or screen.
Dates are converted wrongly. Afghan documents often use Hijri calendar dates, and we confirm how dates must appear before delivery.
Names are spelled inconsistently. Afghan names have many Latin spellings, and we follow the spelling in your records or ID documents.
