Quick Answer
Why Do Marshallese Translations Often Look Wrong?
Standard Marshallese spelling uses letters such as ā, ļ, m̧, ņ, n̄, o̧, ō and ū, and many fonts and systems drop them. Some readers also learned an older spelling without these marks. Agree which spelling your audience expects and check the letters in the final PDF, website or text message.

Common mistakes
Where Marshallese Projects Go Wrong
Most problems in Marshallese projects come from a few predictable gaps. This is what we check on every file.
- Special letters disappear. Characters such as m̧ and n̄ break in some fonts and text systems, so we check the delivered format.
- The spelling does not match the readers. Some communities prefer the older spelling, and we confirm which one to use before work starts.
- Only text is delivered. Recorded audio reaches people who prefer spoken information, so we offer it for key messages.
- Terms are translated word for word. Native reviewers check that health, legal and workplace terms are clear in everyday Marshallese.
