How Punjabi shows up in the work.
Punjabi has a large Sikh diaspora population in North America and the UK. We staff Sikh-community-fluent interpreters for healthcare, legal, and faith-based community work.

What Punjabi translation demands.
One spoken language, two scripts. Indian Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi; Pakistani Punjabi in Perso-Arabic Shahmukhi, which runs right to left. The audience determines the script — print the wrong one and the document simply can't be read.
How we handle Punjabi
- Variant and register confirmed before work begins
- Native-speaker linguists with domain expertise
- Typography and layout checked in final files
- Certificate of accuracy available on request
Three ways we deliver Punjabi translation.
Punjabi ↔ English documents by domain specialists — medical records, contracts, school files, technical manuals.
A second linguist reads every delivery before it leaves.
Websites, apps, and product copy adapted for Punjabi-speaking readers — variant, register, and layout together.
Not a word-swap. The page has to work in the language, not just contain it.
USCIS-accepted, court-ready Punjabi translations, delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy.
We confirm the variant before we start so the certificate matches the reader.
