Why add Persian to your product?
A large, digitally engaged population
Despite limited access to international platforms, Iran has developed a sizable domestic tech sector, including large e-commerce and ride-hailing platforms, reflecting a population that is highly active online in Persian.
One language, three countries, plus a global diaspora
Persian is spoken by 130M+ people as Farsi in Iran, Dari in Afghanistan, and Tajik in Tajikistan, plus one of the largest and most globally connected diaspora communities in the world, concentrated in North America and Europe.
A well-connected diaspora audience
Persian-speaking communities in the US, Canada, Germany, and the UK are large, established, and closely connected to family and business networks back home, making Persian localization valuable for reaching this global audience even where direct market access is limited.
A strong online content culture
Persian has one of the more established blogging and social media traditions online relative to its speaker population, reflecting an audience that is engaged, literate, and accustomed to consuming detailed content in its own language.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Persian machine translation?
Persian uses a modified Arabic script written right-to-left and has grammar distinct from European languages, which adds complexity for MT. Modern systems handle standard business and product content well; the Lingvit editorial dashboard is useful for reviewing nuanced or culturally specific copy.
Does Lingvit handle Persian's right-to-left script correctly?
Yes. Persian script, including right-to-left text direction and correct character shaping, is fully supported and renders correctly across all modern browsers and devices.
Is localizing to Persian worth it if direct access to the Iranian market is limited?
Yes. Persian localization reaches far beyond Iran โ it serves Dari speakers in Afghanistan and Tajik speakers in Tajikistan, and connects with a large, engaged global Persian-speaking diaspora in North America and Europe who actively seek out products in their native language.
