Pashto Translation Considerations
When translating Pashto documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Pashto documents from Afghanistan may use the Solar Hijri calendar; always convert dates and note both systems.
Distinguish between Kandahari and Peshawari dialects, as spelling conventions and some vocabulary differ between the two.
Afghan identity documents may contain both Pashto and Dari text; ensure both languages are translated and clearly identified.
Pashto uses a modified Arabic script written right-to-left with 44 letters including unique characters not found in standard Arabic or Persian. Unicode block U+0600-U+06FF covers most characters, with some in U+FB50-U+FDFF. Use fonts such as Noto Naskh Arabic or Scheherazade that support the extended Arabic character set.
