I am writing this guide to aid you on how to reach potential customers from the Islamic Republic of Iran ? an extremely new market. To achieve this goal you must consider translating your services/products to the following languages: Persian (Iranian Farsi), Dari (Afghan Farsi), Pashto, Tajik, Kurdish and Turkish. Persian (Iranian Farsi) is the native language spoken in the Islamic Republic of Iran with over 80 million residents speaking this language throughout the country, so no need to be concerned about the other languages as about 1% of the Iranian People speak them.

A very NEW market: Iran

The Islamic Republic of Iran has undergone several political and economical embargos since the Islamic revolution in 1978 and only some businesses have been promoted to the Islamic Republic of Iran because of the USA embargo. But now after three decades it is time for these businesses to be promoted to the Islamic Republic of Iran and show up at an un-touched and very new market.

Persian (Iranian Farsi) Translation:

There are many translation companies and freelance translators in the world who offer quality DTP services from and into Persian (Iranian Farsi). Most agencies provide English < > Persian (Iranian Farsi) localization services while some also work other languages such as Arabic, German, French, Dutch, etc. When actively searching for such linguists/agencies make sure you concentrate on the quality of the work. If you don't receive quality localization services then you are not likely to succeed. Don't require quality localization services? Then you may also use online localization services from online content translators such as Parsian or other online translators on the web. You may also consider purchasing offline software such as Fars Translator. These translation software are useful if you are not demanding very high quality localization services.

How can I find these transaltion companies?

Very simple! Go to Google and perform a search for the terms ?Farsi Translation?, ?Farsi Translators? or ?English to Farsi Translation? replacing English with your source language. You will surely find a various number of websites which offer such services and you can judge which is better. You may also visit translator networks on the internet. The best of these online directories are GoTranslators, ProZ, TranslatorsCafe and Translatorsbase. GoTranslators is one of the largest translator directories and one can easily seek hundreds of linguists for each language pair in their database of translation agencies/freelance translators. GoTranslators lets you decide whether to look for a freelance translator or translation company.

Freelance translator or translation company?!

Freelance linguists usually offer lower prices than translation companies do, but if you are seeking a reliable source for quality localization, then you'd better chose a translation company. Who can one chase if the work done is not up to the standards? With freelance linguists, the answer is ?nobody?, but translation companies will provide you with a signed contract which will insure that the quality of their delivered job will meet your needs.

Conclusion:

If you are seeking an extremely new market to sell your services or products, you can't find any better than the Islamic Republic of Iran ? a third world country which is growing fast. To reach this market you will need to translate your products to Persian (Iranian Farsi) with the help of translation companies or freelancers providing Persian translation services.
