Interpreters are matched by dialect, region and gender.

Dari and Iranian Farsi are both forms of Persian and are largely mutually intelligible, but they differ in vocabulary, pronunciation, official terms and document conventions. Ariana Nexus translates into Afghanistan Dari, not Iranian Persian, so documents read correctly for Afghan readers.

No national, language-specific interpreter certification exam exists in the United States for Pashto or Dari. Every Ariana Nexus interpreter meets a seven-part standard: a college degree, a dual-language assessment in the exact variety they interpret, structured interpreter training, NCIHC ethics, annual HIPAA training, supervised entry and periodic review. We also assess and train bilingual staff for health systems and courts.

Every engagement is delivered in-house by Ariana Nexus people, under NDA, and never subcontracted. Healthcare work runs under a business associate agreement signed before the first encounter. Sessions are not recorded by default, and interpreters on U.S. assignments are located in the United States. We do not route documents, data or inquiries through channels controlled by the de facto authorities in Afghanistan.

Ariana Nexus is headquartered at 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. We work across all 50 U.S. states and in Canada, Europe and Australia, depending on the type and scale of the project. On-site interpreting is arranged nationwide, and video interpreting is available in all 24 Afghan languages.
