Linguistic considerations

Getting Punjabi right.

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

Script & typography

Indian Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi (left-to-right); Pakistani Punjabi in Shahmukhi (right-to-left, Perso-Arabic). We handle both scripts natively.

Recipient alignment

Every Punjabi 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.
