• Hindi-Punjabi

  Hindi and Punjabi are closely related but not so similar that they are mutually intelligible. They have had an effect on each other, however, so that some words or expressions are very similar. And precisely because the languages are so similar, serious misunderstandings can easily arise. Our translation agency is here to help you with the translation of your documents.

  Specialist native speakers

  Our translators are always native speakers of the target language. We are able to do this because we have a very extensive network. Furthermore, the translators with whom we work specialise in certain fields of expertise: whether legal or commercial, there is always a translator available who has an affinity with the subject.

  Helpful project managers

• English-Punjabi

  Although Punjabi is not very well known in Europe, it is still similar to English in some respects. It has a great many loan words from English and both languages are Indo-European, but this is more or less the extent of the similarities. In order to be able to understand each other well, speakers of the two languages often need translation work to be carried out. Of course, we can offer you those translations, from English into Punjabi.

  Native speakers

  Our translation agency distinguishes itself from other agencies by only working with native speakers. This always benefits the quality of the translation. Furthermore, many of our translators specialise in a specific field of expertise. This not only ensures that the translator best knows how to convey your message in the target language but that they know precisely how the technical details for the relevant field should be translated.

• Doing business in South Asia

  India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka are countries in South Asia. They are known for the clothing produced for large Western companies, but entrepreneurs are also discovering opportunities in areas such as IT.

  Countries in the region are also increasingly being seen as beacons of innovation and production within which European companies increasingly want to promote their products. Asian business culture, however, is so different from that of Europe that it is important to be well informed before you embark on any endeavour. We’ve provided a few tips for you.

  Tip 1: Learn about the country

  Although the term South Asia is often used as if it is a single entity, there are significant differences between the countries of which it is comprised. It is, therefore, important to be aware of the most important cultural characteristics of the specific country in which you will be doing business. This also has consequences for the sort of translations you will need, something that we will, of course, be happy to help you with.

  Tip 2: Be prepared for negotiations

  If you have ever been on holiday in South Asia, you will know that you should never pay the price someone asks for. Haggling is ingrained in the culture. It is a good idea to approach people for advice about how you should deal with this, such as Western entrepreneurs who are already active in South Asia, for example.

  Tip 3: Meetings and presentations

  The expression, ‘fine words butter no parsnips’, is particularly applicable in South Asia, where people prefer to hear convincing facts. If you are going to be giving a presentation to your South Asian clients or partners, make sure that you have all the information to hand that you may be asked about. You don’t need to learn it by heart, but it is certainly advisable to offer accessible hand-outs and to have other sources of information to hand. If you want to give someone your business card, then offer it with both hands, with the front uppermost.

  The language

  Various languages are spoken in South Asia. You can often get by in India using English, but Punjabi is also often used. This also applies in Pakistan, where Punjabi is the most frequently spoken language. It is a good idea to find out beforehand in which language your potential partners would like to receive correspondence and documents. Our translation agency can be of assistance here. We work with professional translators all over the world, allowing us to find the best specialist for every project, the person with the most expertise in the subject, to achieve the desired result.
