The Kurdish language
An
interesting fact about Kurdish:
Kurdish is only a legal language in Iraq and is
outlawed almost everywhere else in the area that
Kurdistan occupies. In 1991, the Turkish government
legalized the use of Kurdish, but still has restrictions
imposed on its use. |

Our Kurdish linguists
As well as being qualified and tested linguists all our Kurdish
translators and interpreters sign up to our code of conduct which
governs expected quality levels and ensures confidentiality. In
additional our database keeps track of all their specialist areas
so we can find exactly the right person for your assignment.
Kurdish translation
For Kurdish translations, Geo works with qualified, expert translators.
All our Kurdish translators are professionals translating into their
mother tongue. Normally they will live in the country where the
target language is spoken so that they remain up to speed with the
language and culture. The only time this doesn’t work is if the
translator is required to have knowledge about a linguistic community
outside the target culture... for instance if our Kurdish translator
who is based in the target country might not have the necessary
understanding or terminology to translate a document for the Kurdish
community in the UK dealing with UK bodies and concepts..e.g. the
Financial Ombudsman or the NHS. In these instances Geo works with
qualified Kurdish translators in the UK to use the correct, established
terminology. See our translation section for more information on Kurdish translation
or have a look at our industries
section. If you need help with back translation from Kurdish,
then we also have a great database of validated, high quality translators
to meet your needs.
Kurdish interpreting
Geo has an extensive database of great people for Kurdish interpreting.
Our Kurdish interpreters are selected for their expertise, knowledge
of specialist areas, friendly professional attitude and consistently
good feedback. See our interpreting section for more information on Kurdish interpreting
or have a look at our industries
section.
Kurdish typesetting
Typesetting in different languages can be tricky if you don’t know
what you’re doing. Hyphenation rules change. Fonts sometimes aren’t
supported in some design packages. Some languages read left to right
(like English), others (like Arabic) read right to left. Kurdish
is no different, but you can rest assured that we can help you.
See our typesetting
section for more information on Kurdish typesetting or have
a look at our industries
section.
Kurdish media services
Geo can even offer Kurdish voice-overs, Kurdish dubbing, Kurdish
audio and video recording s and Kurdish subtitling. See our media
services section for more information or have a look at our industries
section.
