Dari Translation Services by Native Afghan Linguists
Our Dari translation services team can translate health, humanitarian, legal, and research content for readers in Afghanistan and Afghan communities all over the world. The native Afghan linguists we have can translate into Dari, the Afghan Persian your readers actually use, and a second linguist revises every file. Also, certified Dari translation is available with a signed statement of accuracy. For audiences in Iran, our Farsi team adapts the text to Iranian usage.

Who translates your Dari
Native Dari linguists, checked twice
Every Dari project is translated by a native speaker who works in your subject area, then revised line by line by a second Dari translator before delivery. That is the translation-plus-revision workflow ISO 17100 requires.

How we choose and check Dari linguists
Dari, done right
What we get right in Dari that generic translation misses
Afghan Dari, not Iranian Farsi
Dari and Farsi are one language at their core, but the words used in everyday interactions are different: for example, a hospital is shafakhana in Afghanistan and bimarestan in Iran. Afghan audiences notice Iranian terms immediately. We use Afghan vocabulary and spelling, and send Iranian projects to our Farsi team.
Afghan month names
Afghanistan uses the Solar Hijri calendar but with its own month names, such as Hamal and Sawr, not the Iranian ones. We convert every date exactly and keep the Afghan month names when the text stays in Dari.
Names on Afghan IDs
Many Afghan people have no family name, and the tazkira ID lists the father’s and grandfather’s names instead. Also, the Latin spellings of the same name often vary. We spell each name the same way in every file and match the passport spelling you give us.
Dari or Pashto
Pashto is Afghanistan’s other main language, and many Dari readers can’t read it, or the other way round. A national campaign often needs both. We confirm which language your readers use before we start.
Persian script, Afghan conventions
Dari uses the Persian alphabet, the half-space and Persian digits, and reads right to left around English names and numbers. We normalize every character and check the layout in your final files.
Plain words for community readers
Health leaflets, resettlement guides and survey forms reach readers with very different schooling. We write in clear, everyday Dari and test key terms with native readers when your project needs it.

Dari translation questions
How much does Dari translation cost?
Translation plus revision starts at $0.08 per word, and certified documents start at $20 per page. Rush delivery adds 25%, and your fixed quote sets the price and delivery date before we start.
Is Dari the same as Farsi?
They are two varieties of the same language, but the vocabulary, pronunciation, and some spellings differ between Afghanistan and Iran. Afghan readers may notice Iranian wording, so we translate with Afghan linguists for Dari and Iranian linguists for Farsi.
How long does a Dari translation take?
Our Dari team translates up to 12,000 words per day. Larger projects are delivered in batches, and rush delivery is available at +25%.
Do you translate Dari documents into English?
Yes. Our Dari translation team can translate interview transcripts, survey answers, certificates, and case documents into English. Afghan calendar dates are converted to the Gregorian calendar, and a second linguist checks every name and number against the original.
Do you provide Dari interpreters?
Yes. We provide Dari interpreting by phone and video for health, legal, and community appointments. Tell us the date, length, and subject, and we confirm an interpreter with your quote.
Do you use machine translation?
Not by default. Every Dari file is translated by a native linguist and revised by a second one. Post-edited machine translation is available only if you ask for it.
