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.
