Linguistic considerations

Getting Dari right.

Small choices — script, register and filing context — change whether a Dari document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly. Here is what we watch for.

Dialect & variety

Dari, Farsi and Tajik are mutually intelligible but clients sometimes request the wrong variety. Afghan speakers almost always require Dari (or Pashto).

Cultural register

Gender matching matters for many Afghan clients — we staff female interpreters for women's-health appointments and women-only domestic-violence matters by default and without asking clients to justify.

Recipient alignment

Every Dari project is matched to its destination — a certified translation formatted for the exact recipient, or an interpreter briefed on the venue's protocol — so it clears review the first time.
