Arabic to Kurdish Translation
Arabic to Kurdish translation serves the UK's substantial Kurdish community — estimated at over 100,000 people from Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Kurdish documents often arrive alongside Arabic-language papers from Iraq and Syria, requiring translators who understand both the Sorani (Central Kurdish) and Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish) variants, as well as the Arabic-Kurdish bilingual document formats common in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Arabic-Kurdish Translation: Supporting Kurdish Communities in the UK
The UK is home to one of Europe's largest Kurdish diasporas, with communities concentrated in London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Sheffield. Most UK Kurds originate from Iraqi Kurdistan, where Arabic and Kurdish are both official languages, meaning their documents are frequently bilingual or require translation between the two. Iraqi Kurdish identity documents (civil status IDs, nationality certificates, and information cards) typically include both Arabic and Kurdish text, and UK authorities often require certified English translations of both language components. Our translators are experienced with the unique format of Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) documents.
Kurdish asylum cases form a significant portion of Arabic-Kurdish translation demand. Syrian Kurdish refugees often have Arabic-language identity documents from the Syrian government alongside Kurdish-language community records. Iraqi Kurds may have Arabic court documents, Ba'ath-era records, and Anfal campaign documentation that requires careful translation. Turkish and Iranian Kurds may have Arabic-language religious certificates alongside Kurdish documents. We understand the political sensitivity of these documents and the importance of accurate translation for asylum tribunals, where a single terminology error can undermine a case.
Kurdish exists in two main written forms — Sorani (using Arabic script, standard in Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran) and Kurmanji (using Latin script, standard in Turkey and Syria). We translate Arabic documents into both variants, assigning the correct dialect based on your community and destination. For Iraqi Kurdish documents, we typically work with Sorani; for Turkish and Syrian Kurdish communities, we use Kurmanji. We also handle the Badini dialect spoken in Duhok governorate and the Hawrami variant, ensuring complete coverage of Kurdish linguistic diversity.
