Punjabi Translation Considerations
When translating Punjabi documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Determine whether the source document uses Gurmukhi (Indian Punjabi) or Shahmukhi (Pakistani Punjabi) script, as the translator must be proficient in the relevant script.
Sikh religious documents and marriage certificates (Anand Karaj) may contain Gurbani text that requires specialised knowledge.
Indian Punjabi documents use different official terminology and formatting compared to Pakistani Punjabi documents; confirm the country of origin.
Gurmukhi uses Unicode block U+0A00-U+0A7F. Shahmukhi uses the Arabic Unicode blocks. For Indian Punjabi, use Gurmukhi fonts such as Noto Sans Gurmukhi or Raavi. For Pakistani Punjabi, use Naskh-style Arabic fonts. Documents from India will be in Gurmukhi; documents from Pakistan will typically be in Urdu (Shahmukhi) rather than Punjabi.
