Linguistic considerations

Getting Yiddish right.

Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Yiddish document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly.

Dialect & variety

Hasidic spoken Yiddish (predominantly Hungarian-origin varieties) differs from YIVO-standard literary Yiddish. We match dialect and register to the setting.

Script & typography

Yiddish is right-to-left in Hebrew letters. We handle RTL DTP and manage Hebrew / English bilingual layouts (e.g. ketubot).
