Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Urdu machine translation?
Urdu shares much of its grammar and vocabulary with Hindi but is written in a Perso-Arabic script, which requires separate handling from Devanagari-based languages. Modern MT handles everyday business content well; the Lingvit editorial dashboard helps refine specialized or idiomatic copy.
Does Lingvit handle Urdu's right-to-left script correctly?
Yes. Urdu's Perso-Arabic script, written right-to-left, is fully supported and renders correctly across all modern browsers and devices.
Is localizing to Urdu worth it for a SaaS product?
Yes. Pakistan's mobile-first internet population is growing quickly, and Urdu is the language most new digital users are comfortable transacting in โ localizing gives products a meaningful edge over English-only competitors in this market.
