Urdu is closely related to Hindi, but has many loan words from Arabic and Persian. Despite the fact that Urdu is the official language of Pakistan, only a small proportion of Pakistan's population speak it.

Prior to translation and interpretation

Before ordering a translation or interpreter, it is a good idea to know which country the translated material will be used in and which country the person to be interpreted comes from. This is particularly important for translations into languages which are spoken in many different countries, since the same language may be written differently and in some cases with different alphabets.
