Urdu Translation

Urdu translation and interpreters for Singapore

Because Urdu is spoken by over 100 million people around the world. Localising your content requires the kind of in-depth cultural understanding which only native linguists can provide. It’s the only way to get your message, and all of the concepts it contains, across any language barrier.

We always pair your project with an Urdu translator who is an expert in your field. This could be a legal specialist to help you meet the Ministry of Manpower’s exacting requirements – something we’ve not yet failed to accomplish – or a practising or former doctor for medical translations.

Urdu translation services for any industry in Singapore

Asian Absolute’s solution is to always select a linguist for your project who has Masters degree-level qualifications and/or five years of experience in your industry.

Using this industry-specific expertise, we’ve already completed Urdu translations for companies in Singapore, the APAC region and around the world in a broad range of sectors:

Are Hindi and Urdu the same language?

It’s easy enough to see why. Because, when spoken, the languages are very similar. However, when they are written down, there are significant differences:

• Urdu is written from right to left, while Hindi is written left to right.
• Hindi uses Sanskrit vocabulary, while Urdu mainly relies on Persian and Arabic.

But this does not change the fact that to people who actually speak Urdu and Hindi, the two languages are very different. The long-standing regional and religious differences mean it is vital to distinguish between the two when you are targeting any Urdu-speaking region.

If you aren’t sure how to proceed, our extensive experience in the region means we are ideally positioned to advise you.

• Pakistan, where it is the national language.

It also has several dialects, including Dakhni, Rekhta, and Modern Vernacular Urdu among them. We are more than used to carefully adjusting the level of formality in your message, something which is a vital part of Urdu communications.
