Regional varieties of Esperanto we translate
Standard Esperanto under the Fundamento
the single normative form; there are no regional dialects of the kind found in natural languages
Literary register versus everyday spoken register
stylistic variation within the same foundational norm
Neologism preference versus archaism preference
lexical choices that still respect the Fundamento
Not to be confused with Ido (1907), a derived reform and a separate constructed language, not a variant of Esperanto
We confirm the right variant per assignment based on your target country and audience.
Which variety of Esperanto fits your audience best?
-
Standard Esperanto (Fundamento)
- Association and conference documents, statutes and official correspondence
- Educational material and language courses
-
Literary register
- Novels, poetry and editions where style and rhythm matter
- Cultural texts with rich, expressive word choice
| Register | Norm | Style cue | Recommended for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (Fundamento) | single normative form | sixteen basic rules, no exceptions | association + conference + official documents |
| Literary | Fundamento-compliant neologisms | wider vocabulary, expressive | novels, poetry, editions |
| Everyday spoken | Fundamento-compliant | simpler, more direct sentences | informal correspondence, online content |
| Correct diacritics (Unicode) | applies to all final texts | ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ, not cx/gx or ch/gh | every published or printed text |

Request a quoteWhat non-native translators and machine translation miss in Esperanto
Many teams speak good Esperanto and AI tools translate in seconds. Yet in business, legal and medical Esperanto texts, non-native translators and machine translation make the kind of mistakes that cost you credibility or legal validity. A few examples we prevent:
No country, no national language
Voorbeeld:Esperanto is sometimes treated as an ordinary national language, with a "target country" or a "native market" — neither of which exists.
Onze aanpak:We translate from the community context: literature, associations, education and culture, not from a regional market.
Confusion with Ido or other planned languages
Voorbeeld:Ido (1907) or Interlingua is mistaken for Esperanto; Ido is a derived reform and a separate language in its own right.
Onze aanpak:We confirm up front that the work is Esperanto and not a related constructed language, so the correct norm is followed.
Diacritical letters rendered incorrectly
Voorbeeld:The letters ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ appear as cx/gx or ch/gh, or drop out altogether through faulty character encoding.
Onze aanpak:We deliver in correct Unicode and use the x- or h-systems only where you specifically ask for them.
The Fundamento not respected
Voorbeeld:Free neologisms or stylistic choices drift away from the foundational norm, shifting register or meaning without anyone intending it.
Onze aanpak:Our translator checks the text against the Fundamento de Esperanto so the foundational norm stays intact.
Waar Esperanto wordt gesproken
Esperanto is not the language of a country but of a worldwide community. A literary translation calls for a different feel for style than a conference programme or a set of association statutes, and the foundational norm — the Fundamento — has to hold up in every text. We match register and word choice to the purpose of your document and confirm that choice up front in the quote.

- France, Germany, Polandnumbers unknownthe largest European concentration of active speakers
- Netherlandsnumbers unknownUEA based in Rotterdam, an active community
