Farsi Linguists Helping You Market Your Services To Iran

By: AAGerami

If you manage a worldwide internet business you already know that the most vital issue for expanding your business to countries worldwide is to be able to touch your potential customers with their own mother tongue.

I am writing this guide to guide you on how to reach potential customers from Iran – an extremely new market. To do this you must consider localizing your products/services to the following languages: Farsi (Persian), Afghan Farsi (Dari), Pashto, Tajik Farsi, Kurdish and Turkish. Farsi (Persian) is the national language of Iran with over 80 million people speaking this language throughout the nation, so no worries about the other languages mentioned above as only 1% of the Iranians speak them.

An extremely un-reached market: Iran

Iran has encountered several political and economical embargos since the Islamic revolution in the 70’s and only few major products have been promoted to Iran because of the US embargo. But now after 3 decades it is time for these businesses to come to Iran and make their presence at an un-touched and very new market.

Farsi (Persian) localization:

There are various translation agencies and freelance linguists out there who offer high quality DTP services from and into Farsi (Persian). Most of these agencies provide English < > Farsi (Persian) translation services while few also work many other languages such as French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, etc. When actively seeking such translators/agencies pay attention to the quality of the work. If you don’t receive high quality work then you will not succeed. Don’t require high quality localization services? Then you can also use free online translation services from internet text translators such as Babylon or other internet translators on the net. You can also consider purchasing offline freeware such as Fars Translator. These online and offline transaltion freeware are good if you are not demanding standard quality localization services.

How to find these translation agencies?

Very easy! Go to Google.com and do a search for the keywords “Farsi Translators”, “Farsi Translation” or “English to Farsi Translation” replacing English with your primary language. You will surely find a whole bunch of sites which offer such services and you can judge which meets your requirements. You can also go to translator networks on the web. The best of these directories are TranslatorsCafe, ProZ, Gotranslators and Translatorsbase. GoTranslators is one of the largest translator directories and you can easily find hundreds of translators for each language pair in their list of freelance translators/translation agencies. GoTranslators lets you decide whether you want to look for a freelance translator or translation company.

Freelance translator or translation company?!

Freelance translators usually offer lower rates than translation agencies do, but if you are looking for a safe source for high quality translations, then better select a translation company. Who can you accuse if the work done is not up to the standards? With freelance translators, the answer is “no one”, but translation agencies will offer you a signed contract which will insure that the quality of their work will meet your needs.

Conclusion:

If you are looking for an extremely new market to sell your services or products, you won’t find any better than Iran – a third world country which is growing fast. To reach this new market you must translate your services to Farsi (Persian) with the aid of agencies or freelancers offering Farsi translation services.
