Lao to English Translation Services

(We also offer English to Lao translation services.)

Laos is a diverse state with dozens of different ethnic groups and just as many distinct languages. As such, people throughout the country regularly use Lao (sometimes called Laotian) as the lingua franca.

The unique challenges of Lao translation

Finding high-quality Lao to English translation services comes with its own distinct challenges. First, Lao uses an entirely unique alphabet that has no official written standard. Second, a large stock of words taken from Thai, French, Pali, and Sanskrit are used to convey specific nuances or meanings. Third, Lao has a complex system of relational markers that express a word’s grammatical role. This, combined with the language’s numerous dialects, can help you understand the expertise required for accurate Lao to English translation services.
