Interpretation

Farsi interpretation services

Iranian Farsi for Iranian clients. Dari for Afghan ones.

About the language

Farsi at a glance

Farsi is the language of Iran. While it's mutually intelligible with Dari and Tajik, we differentiate when matching interpreters so client expectations are met.

Farsi, Dari, and Tajik form one Persian family — but clients hear the difference. Accents and everyday vocabulary diverge, so we staff Iranian Farsi speakers for Iranian clients and Dari speakers for Afghan clients rather than treating Persian as one pool.

Farsi has around 70 million speakers in Iran, Afghanistan (as Dari), and the diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.

How we help

Four ways to work with a Farsi interpreter

Pick the modality that fits the conversation. Every one draws on the same vetted roster and the same standards.

OPI

Over-the-phone

A Farsi interpreter joins your call on demand, with no scheduling, apps or equipment. Built for short, urgent conversations.

VRI

Video remote

See each other while a Farsi interpreter works on screen: clinical visits, depositions and anything where expression or documents matter.

On-site

In person

A Farsi interpreter in the room for appointments, hearings, admissions and site visits where presence matters.

Conference

Meetings & events

Simultaneous or consecutive Farsi interpretation for board meetings, trainings, town halls and conferences.

Where we work

Where Farsi interpretation is needed most

We match each request on language, dialect and setting, because a good rendering of a diagnosis or a court instruction takes more than fluency.
