Sinhala Translation Considerations
When translating Sinhala documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Sri Lankan documents are often bilingual or trilingual (Sinhala, Tamil, English); confirm which language sections require translation.
Sinhala has a formal written style used in official documents that differs from spoken Sinhala; translators must be familiar with the literary register.
Sri Lankan dates may follow British-style day/month/year formatting; verify date formats carefully.
Sinhala uses its own unique script in Unicode block U+0D80-U+0DFF. The script has over 50 base characters and numerous conjunct forms. Use fonts such as Noto Sans Sinhala, Iskoola Pota, or FM Abhaya. The script requires complex text rendering with contextual shaping for conjunct consonants and vowel signs. Zero-width joiners (ZWJ) are used in some conjunct formations.
