Dari· دری
Dari for Afghan clients — not Iranian Farsi by default.
Dari and Iranian Farsi are close but not the same. We connect you with Dari interpreters by phone, video, or on-site — 24/7.

How Dari shows up in the work.
Dari (Afghan Persian) is mutually intelligible with Iranian Farsi but uses distinct vocabulary. We pair Afghan clients with Dari interpreters specifically — not Farsi — for cultural and lexical accuracy.

What good Dari interpretation takes.
Dari and Iranian Farsi are close but not the same. They're mutually intelligible, yet accent and everyday vocabulary differ enough that Afghan clients can tell immediately — so we assign Dari interpreters specifically, including Hazaragi speakers where requested.

- Interpreters matched to the speaker's dialect and region
- Clinical, legal, and community-register fluency
- Consecutive and simultaneous modes available
- Live coverage around the clock, every day
Three ways to reach a Dari interpreter.
Audio-only Dari for clinics, courts, and contact centers — typically on the line in under a minute.
No app, no camera, no scheduling. The workhorse for short, urgent conversations.
Face-to-face Dari for consent, testimony, and family meetings — where tone and expression carry part of the meaning.
The remote option when you need to see each other, including ASL when that’s the language in the room.
Dari interpreters in the room — depositions, IEP meetings, and events, consecutive or simultaneous.
For the day that has to happen in person, or the event that needs a booth.
