Why add Punjabi to your product?
India's growing regional-language internet
As internet access has spread beyond India's English-fluent urban elite, use of regional-language content and apps has grown quickly, with millions of new users each year preferring to browse, shop, and transact in their own language.
A large, well-established diaspora
Punjabi is one of the most spoken languages in Canada and has deep-rooted communities across the UK, particularly in London and the West Midlands. This diaspora represents a large, digitally engaged audience beyond India's borders.
Digital India momentum
India's Digital India initiative has driven rapid growth in mobile internet access, digital payments, and e-commerce adoption nationwide, including in Punjab, creating fertile ground for localized digital products.
A young, increasingly digital-native audience
Punjab has a large young population with fast-growing smartphone and mobile internet access. This generation increasingly expects software and digital services to be available in its own language.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Punjabi machine translation?
Punjabi is an Indo-Aryan language with well-developed digital resources in the Gurmukhi script used in India. Modern machine translation handles common business and product content well; the Lingvit editorial dashboard is useful for reviewing specialized terminology or culturally nuanced copy.
Does Lingvit handle the Gurmukhi script used for Punjabi?
Yes. Lingvit supports Gurmukhi, the script used for Punjabi in India and by the Sikh and Punjabi diaspora worldwide, including its distinctive characters and diacritical marks. This is a separate script from the Shahmukhi (Perso-Arabic) script used for Punjabi in Pakistan.
Is Punjabi worth localizing to for reaching the diaspora in the UK and Canada?
Yes. Punjabi-speaking communities in the UK and Canada are large, established, and digitally active, making Punjabi localization valuable even for products not primarily focused on the Indian market.
