Urdu· اُردُو
Urdu in Nastaʿlīq, not a fallback font that looks like Arabic.
Urdu is written right to left and conventionally typeset in Nastaʿlīq. Our Urdu linguists translate, localize, and certify documents with the variant and register your readers expect.

What Urdu translation demands.
Urdu is written right to left and conventionally typeset in Nastaʿlīq. Many systems silently fall back to Naskh-style fonts that Urdu readers find alien — so we check the typography of the final file as carefully as the words.
How we handle Urdu
- Variant and register confirmed before work begins
- Native-speaker linguists with domain expertise
- Right-to-left layout and typography checked in final files
- Certificate of accuracy available on request
Three ways we deliver Urdu translation.
Urdu ↔ 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 Urdu-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 Urdu translations, delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy.
We confirm the variant before we start so the certificate matches the reader.
