About Us: Urdu to English
Our Journey Begins
2007 marked the birth of an idea—a vision to bridge the language gap between Urdu and English speakers across the globe. We started as a small team with a big dream: to create a platform that would make news and information accessible to all, regardless of their linguistic background. And so, Urdu to English was born.

Over the years, we’ve navigated the ever-evolving digital landscape, consistently refining our mission and growing our community. Here’s a glimpse into our journey:

Our Purpose and Values
At Urdu to English, we are dedicated to fostering understanding and connection through accurate and unbiased news translation. Our core values are:
- Accuracy: We strive for meticulousness in our translations, ensuring that the essence of each article is preserved.
- Reliability: Our commitment to quality means every piece of content undergoes rigorous editing and fact-checking.
- Cultural Sensitivity: We respect and celebrate cultural nuances, providing an authentic representation of Urdu content.
Filling the Information Gap
The internet, while a vast resource, often lacks reliable Urdu-to-English translation services. Many news outlets either provide limited or inaccurate translations, leaving a significant gap in accessible information for non-English speakers. We identified this as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, ensuring that critical news and knowledge remain accessible to all.
Unbiased Reporting and Reliable Information
We take pride in our unwavering commitment to providing unbiased content. Our team of dedicated translators and editors ensures that every article is translated accurately, preserving the original intent and context. We employ advanced AI-driven tools to maintain consistency and quality but always have human experts review the translations for precision.
Who We Serve
Our target audience includes:
- Urdu-speaking individuals worldwide who seek news and information in their native language.
- English speakers interested in exploring Urdu culture, literature, and current affairs.
- Students, researchers, and professionals who require reliable academic resources in both languages.
We aim to empower our readers by providing a platform where they can engage with diverse perspectives and stay informed about global events from an Urdu perspective.
