Urdu Translation Considerations
When translating Urdu documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Urdu documents from Pakistan and India may use different official terminology and formats; always confirm the country of origin.
The Nastaliq script style used for Urdu flows diagonally from right to left and requires specialised fonts; standard Arabic Naskh fonts may not render Urdu text correctly.
Pakistani national identity documents use CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) numbers; preserve these accurately in translations.
Urdu uses the Nastaliq style of Perso-Arabic script, written right-to-left. Unicode blocks U+0600-U+06FF and U+FB50-U+FDFF are required. Nastaliq rendering requires specialised fonts such as Jameel Noori Nastaliq, Noto Nastaliq Urdu, or Nafees Nastaliq. Standard Arabic Naskh fonts are technically usable but culturally inappropriate for Urdu text. Nastaliq is one of the most complex scripts for digital rendering.
