Tigrinya translation

Tigrinya Translation for Eritrean and Ethiopian Readers.

Native Tigrinya linguists who know whether your audience lives in Eritrea, Tigray or the diaspora, with every file reviewed by a second native linguist.

Quick Answer

Is Eritrean Tigrinya Different from Ethiopian Tigrinya?

They are the same language, but vocabulary, spelling habits and some terms differ between Eritrea and the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Tell us where your readers come from and we assign a linguist with that background, so health, legal and settlement material reads naturally to them.

Common mistakes

Where Tigrinya Projects Go Wrong

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

The text suits the wrong audience. Wording written for Eritrean readers can feel foreign in Tigray, and the reverse.
Tigrinya is mixed up with Tigre or Amharic. They share a script family, but they are different languages with different speakers.
Fonts break in the final file. An Ethiopic font must be embedded in PDFs, apps and subtitles, so we check the delivered format.
Review is skipped. Qualified Tigrinya reviewers are scarce, and some vendors deliver after one pass. We staff two native linguists on every file.
