Dari to English: Extracts from interviews with refugee women from Afghanistan General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Asylum/Migration/Displacement
Source text - Dari ”یعنی من بالایت افتخار میکنم چون فکر میکنم که یعنی افغانستان هم بهترین بهترین شخصیتها را دارد که میتوانه یک جایی را بگیره. در هر جایی باشه آدم یعنی میتونه در یک مقامی برسه. وقتی زمان من که یکی را میبینم که در مقام میرسانه یعنی فکر میکنم که من هم رسیدم. یعنی من هم میتوانم. یعنی ناامید هیچوقت نیستم که ناامید باشم.“
Translation - English “What I mean is, I take pride in you, because I think that Afghanistan has the greatest people, who can make their mark anywhere. No matter where they are, they can achieve great things. Whenever I see one of us who has achieved something great, I feel that I too have achieved it. That I too am capable of great things. That I am never without hope, or feel that I should be hopeless.”
Persian (Farsi) to English: Extracts from interviews with refugee women from Afghanistan General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Asylum/Migration/Displacement
Source text - Persian (Farsi) ”دیگه زندگی مشکلات خود داشت در شروع. در مسافر چون در یک زندگی نو، در یک محیط نو، در یک اجتماع نو زمانی که آدم داخل میشه طبعاً مشکلات خود را داره و خصوصاً اینکه آدم زبان را نفهمه و شوهرم میفهمد انگلیسی را اما انگلیسی میفهمیم که صحبت بیشتر نمیکنن صرف به زبان خودشان. دیگر به همین شکل [آهستهآهسته] زندگی را پیش بردیم و شوهرم درس خواند. من دیگه با طفلها بودم چون مسئولیت طفل در اینجا بیشتر است. باید متوجه طفل خود خوب، صحیح و درست باشی تا اینکه اگر میخواهی در اجتماع اولاد درست، سالم تربیه کنی باید زیاد متوجه باشی. و خصوصاً در دویچلند اگر یک نفر فدایی و قربانی نده نمیتوانه که یک طفل را درست کلان کنه، بزرگ بسازه چون تنها این مهم نیست بزرگ ساختن باشه. در پهلوی بزرگ کردن طفل تعلیم و تربیه هم مهم هست. آدم باید تعلیم و تربیه درست بده. و مهم تهداب طفل هست. اگر ما تهداب طفل را درست بکنیم در آینده میتوانیم که راحت زندگی کنیم چون مهم تهداب هست.“
Translation - English “Life had its difficulties in the beginning. As a migrant, starting a new life, in a new environment, in a new society, when you arrive, naturally, there are challenges, especially that you don’t know the language. My husband speaks English, but we understand that they don’t speak it much here, only their own language. Thus, ever so slowly, our lives went on. My husband did some study. I was with the children, because the caring responsibilities for children are greater here. You have to be attentive to your children, and do so properly and correctly, because if you want to raise healthy and well-behaved children in society, you must pay close attention to them. And especially in Germany, you cannot raise a child properly if you aren’t devoted and willing to make sacrifices. Growing up is not the only important thing for a child. Besides raising them, education and upbringing are also important. You must provide them with a proper education and upbringing, so that they will have a strong foundation. If we do this correctly, our lives will be easier in the future knowing that they have this strong foundation.”

Bio
Hi there, thanks for visiting my profile. My name is Hannah and I am a freelance Persian to English and Dari to English translator, and a consultant linguist with expertise in Australian English. I founded my translation business, Hamahang Translation, in 2023. I have a Master of Translation degree from RMIT University, completed in 2025, and a Bachelor of Languages degree from the Australian National University, completed in 2014, with a major in Persian and minor in Arabic. I also have a Master of Social Work degree from Deakin University, completed in 2018.
With my academic background in linguistics, sociology, history, psychology and social work I can offer quality specialised translations in any of these subject areas. I also have professional experience as a social worker working with refugees and migrants, and so I have specialised knowledge to offer for any translation projects relating to human rights, migration and displacement.
The translation services I offer are:
Health and science translation (medical records and reports, articles, research papers)
Legal translation (contracts, deeds, powers of attorney, personal correspondence)
Literary translation (poetry, novels, short stories, biographies)
Document translation (Official and personal documents)
Subtitling (Social media and Youtube content, TV series, films and documentaries)
Editing and proofreading translations of professional and academic writing
MTPE (Post-editing of machine translations)
I also offer my services as a consultant linguist, providing expert advice and insight into localisation projects for the Australian market, including Australian pronunciation, terminology, and cultural references.
