Pahari translator

Yes. Ecrivus is a Pahari translation agency: we translate into and out of Pahari-Pothwari (also called Mirpuri or Pothwari) with a translator who recognises the right regional variant. We provide certified translation where an authority requires a signed statement of accuracy, and standard professional translation for your everyday documents.

They are variants of the same Indo-Aryan language spoken on the Pothohar Plateau and in Azad Kashmir. Mirpuri is the variant from the Mirpur region and the most commonly heard in the Western European and UK diaspora; Pothwari comes from the Rawalpindi-Islamabad area. Tell us the origin with your request and the translator will choose the right vocabulary.

The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no "sworn translator" as a legal office here. For official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy from the translator or the agency, with our contact details. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). We confirm in the quote which level your receiving authority requires.

Official certificates from Pakistan are often drawn up in Urdu, even when the family speaks Pahari-Pothwari. We first assess which language the source document is actually written in, then assign the right translator. Send the document with your request and we confirm the approach in the quote.

On working days you receive a reply within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, variant and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote rather than promised as a fixed turnaround.

A Pahari translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We select the translator who handles the right variant, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and keep the transliteration of names consistent with your official documents. You keep one point of contact for variant, terminology, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
