About Assamese translation
Assamese handled by professionals who work in it every day.
Assamese is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language with around 15 million speakers, most of them in the Indian state of Assam, where it has official status and has long functioned as a lingua franca across a linguistically dense part of Northeast India.
Its closeness to Bengali is where most translation problems start. The two languages share a lot of vocabulary, which leads organisations to assume a Bengali version will serve, or to commission Assamese from a translator who mainly works in Bengali.
Assamese readers spot the result immediately. The grammar, pronunciation, and everyday idiom are distinct, and the script has its own characters that Bengali does not use.
At GoLocalise, we work with native Assamese translators for whom Assamese is the working language rather than an adjacent one. Every text is reviewed by a second linguist before we deliver it to you.

Areas of expertise
What we translate
From public health and development video to corporate film, eLearning and subtitles — always audiovisual, and always in Assamese rather than near-Bengali.
Public sector and development video
Programme films and community-facing video for Assam, where the terminology has to stay consistent and still be understood.
Health and awareness video
Public health material, where being understood matters more than sounding formal.
Documentary and interviews
Factual programming and interviews across a linguistically dense part of Northeast India.
Corporate and brand video
Company films and internal communications, translated for the screen.
Subtitles and captions
Frame-accurate subtitles in the Assamese script, cued and timed to the picture.
Voice over and dubbing scripts
Scripts timed to the original, ready for a native Assamese voice in the booth.

It was a pleasure to work with David and the team at GoLocalise. David gave me lots of help and advice, guiding me through my first subtitling project. He really knows his stuff! The experience was completely pain-free. I would not hesitate to recommend GoLocalise – outstanding work at a good price.
They're reliable, adaptive and obsessed with quality. And while you can never be 100% guaranteed of perfection, you can be sure GoLocalise will go the extra mile to get it right every time.

Most common questions
No. The two languages are related and look similar on the page, but they differ in grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and script characters, and Assamese readers recognise a Bengali text straight away. For anything aimed at Assam, an Assamese translation is the only version that reads as intended.
