Kurdish Sorani Translation Services
in London
Sorani Kurdish is the primary language of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq — spoken by millions across Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, and the wider Kurdish diaspora. If you need a birth certificate translated for a visa application, a legal document for a court case, or academic transcripts for a UK university, you need a translator who knows Sorani — not just “Kurdish.”

Sorani Is Not Kurmanji — The Dialect Matters
Kurdish is not a single language — it has two major dialects: Sorani (Central Kurdish) and Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish). Sorani is the primary dialect of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, including Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and Kirkuk, as well as parts of Iran[reference:0]. It is written in the Arabic script and has a distinct grammar and vocabulary[reference:1].
Submitting a Kurmanji translation when you need Sorani — or vice versa — can lead to rejection, confusion, and delays. Our Sorani translators are native speakers of the dialect, with deep knowledge of the cultural and linguistic nuances of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, including the Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and Kirkuk areas[reference:2].
We never substitute Sorani with Kurmanji. Every translation is completed by a native Sorani Kurdish speaker who understands the dialect, the Arabic script, and the specific requirements of UKVI and the Home Office[reference:3].

What Solicitors & Clients Say
We brought in this team for a two-day assignment — our client needed an interpreter throughout, and they delivered without a single issue. Punctual, professional, and the interpreter handled some fairly technical legal discussion without missing a beat. We’ll be using them again.
I needed an interpreter at short notice for an immigration hearing. Not easy to sort at the last minute, but they had someone confirmed within a few hours and he was excellent — calm, accurate, and knew the legal terminology. Genuinely took the stress out of a difficult day.
English is not my first language and the legal process here was quite confusing. The interpreter was patient — not just translating words but actually making sure I understood what was going on. The price was fair, no surprises at the end. I would use them again without hesitation.
