The Pashto language
An
interesting fact about Pashto:
Pashto was made the national language of Afghanistan
in 1936 by royal decree. Today, it is one of the
two official languages of Afghanistan along with
Dari. Dari enjoys greater prestige and most Pashtuns
learn to speak Dari, but few Dari speakers learn

Our Pashto linguists
As well as being qualified and tested linguists all our Pashto translators and interpreters sign up to our code of conduct which governs expected quality levels and ensures confidentiality. In addition, our database keeps track of all their specialist areas so we can find exactly the right person for your assignment.
Pashto translation
For Pashto translations, Geo works with qualified, expert translators. All our Pashto 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 Pashto translator who is based in the target country might not have the necessary understanding or terminology to translate a document for the Pashto 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 Pashto translators in the UK to use the correct, established terminology. See our translation section for more information on Pashto translation or have a look at our industries section. If you need help with back translation from Pashto, then we also have a great database of validated, high quality translators to meet your needs.
Pashto interpreting
Geo has an extensive database of great people for Pashto interpreting. Our Pashto 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 Pashto interpreting or have a look at our industries section.
Pashto 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. Pashto is no different, but you can rest assured that we can help you. See our typesetting section for more information on Pashto typesetting or have a look at our industries section.
Pashto media services
Geo can even offer Pashto voice-overs, Pashto dubbing, Pashto audio and video recording s and Pashto subtitling. See our media services section for more information or have a look at our industries section.
