Awadhi translation services

Awadhi translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing whether each piece is Awadhi or Hindi included as part of the brief rather than billed as an extra step.

Yes. Native Awadhi linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that the grammar is Awadhi throughout and that Hindi constructions have not crept in where the vocabulary happens to be shared.

Yes — Awadhi translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary throughout, so the script the voice actor reads is already in Awadhi rather than Hindi to be adapted in the booth.

India's census groups Awadhi under Hindi, and the two share a great deal of vocabulary. The grammar is not shared: Awadhi has no agent marker ने and forms its past tense differently, which is why an Awadhi script written with Hindi grammar sounds wrong to Awadhi speakers even when every word is familiar.

It depends on how the audience will receive it. In Awadh, Hindi is the language of school, administration and the press, so written material is often best in Hindi. Awadhi comes into its own where people listen: voice-over, dialogue, local advertising and community messaging. We recommend piece by piece at the brief.

Yes — audiovisual is our specialisation. We deliver spotted SRT/VTT and timed two-column voice-over scripts, plus translated text when you need it.

Yes. A native Awadhi linguist reads it and tells you whether it is Awadhi or Hindi with Awadhi words, marking the constructions that give it away. It is worth doing before a script goes to the studio, because otherwise the voice actor fixes it on the fly, and not always the same way twice.

Yes. Awadhi is also spoken in the western Terai of Nepal, where the 2021 census counted 864,276 speakers. It is the same language on both sides of the border, and where local forms differ we agree them at the brief.

Most short documents are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Word count, subject complexity and turnaround all move the date, and your project manager will confirm the timeline at the start.

Less than people expect: the document, script or subtitle file, its word count, what the text is actually for, and the date you need it by. A draft is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a final version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
