Pashto translation

Pashto Translation for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Native Pashto linguists who match Afghan or Pakistani usage, with right to left layout checks and a second native review on every file.

Quick Answer

Is Afghan Pashto Different from Pakistani Pashto?

It is one language, but dialects and spelling conventions differ between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and between southern and northern varieties. Readers in Kandahar and Peshawar notice the difference. Tell us where your audience lives and we assign a native linguist from that region.

Common mistakes

Where Pashto Projects Go Wrong

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

The regional variety is wrong. Text written for Peshawar can read oddly in Kandahar, and the reverse.
Pashto letters disappear. Fonts and keyboards set up for Arabic or Persian can drop Pashto letters, so we check the final output.
Right to left layout breaks. Numbers, English terms and punctuation can reverse in mixed lines, and we check every page or screen.
Urdu or Dari terms creep in. Pakistani content often borrows Urdu and Afghan content borrows Dari, so we agree a glossary first.
