ABOUT THIS PAIR

English ↔ Persian - one language, three names.

Persian is called Farsi in Iran, Dari in Afghanistan and Tajik in Tajikistan - largely the same language with regional differences in accent and vocabulary, and Tajik is written in Cyrillic. Iranian and Afghan Persian use the Perso-Arabic script, written right to left, with four letters Arabic doesn't have (پ چ ژ گ). Persian has no grammatical gender - one word, او, means both 'he' and 'she' - but it has a strong gap between formal written Persian and everyday speech. translator.im defaults to standard Iranian Persian, the version most people mean when they search for a Farsi translator.

WHY TRANSLATOR.IM

A Farsi translator that writes Persian the way Persians do.

Large-language-model translation that handles Persian grammar, script and tone - not a word-for-word substitution.

Proper right-to-left script

Output uses Persian letters (ی and ک, not their Arabic look-alikes) and the half-space (نیم‌فاصله) in words like می‌روم, so it looks right in any RTL-aware app.

Unicode Persian

Formal or friendly

Persian uses شما for respect and تو for close friends, and written Persian differs from spoken. The default is polite standard Persian; ask for 'casual' to get a warmer, more conversational tone.

شما · تو

Word order rebuilt

Persian usually puts the verb at the end and links nouns and adjectives with the ezafe (کتاب خوب - a good book). The model rebuilds each sentence instead of mirroring English order.

SOV grammar

TIPS

Tips for better English to Persian translation.

Three habits for Persian that sounds right to native readers.

  1. Say if it's for Afghanistan

    The default is Iranian Persian (Farsi). If your readers are in Afghanistan, mention 'Dari' so word choices follow Afghan usage. Tajik is written in Cyrillic, so ask for Tajik specifically if that's what you need.

  2. Choose written or spoken style

    Formal Persian ('می‌روم', I go) and spoken Persian ('می‌رم') look quite different. Use formal for letters and documents; ask for 'conversational' for chats and social posts.

  3. Mention gender when it matters

    Persian uses one pronoun, او, for both 'he' and 'she', so gender often disappears in translation. If it matters - for example in a story - keep names in the text so the meaning stays clear when translated back.

FAQ

Questions about English to Persian (Farsi) translation.

Is this English to Persian translator free?
Yes. You get 10 free translations a day, up to 5,000 characters each, without signing up.
Is Persian the same as Farsi?
Yes. Farsi is the Persian name for the language, used mostly in Iran. In English both names are common, so this page works as a Farsi translator and a Persian translator.
What about Dari and Tajik?
Dari is the Persian of Afghanistan and Tajik is the Persian of Tajikistan, written in Cyrillic. They are close to Iranian Persian, with differences in accent and vocabulary. The default output is Iranian Persian; mention Dari or Tajik if you need that variety.
Is 'Iranian language' the same as Persian?
Persian is the official language of Iran, so when people search to 'translate to Iranian language' they usually mean Persian (Farsi). Iran also has other languages, such as Azerbaijani Turkish, Kurdish and Gilaki.
Is Persian the same as Arabic?
No. Persian is an Indo-European language, related to English and Hindi, while Arabic is Semitic. Persian uses an adapted Arabic script and has borrowed many Arabic words, but the grammar is entirely different.
Will the Persian display correctly right to left?
Yes. The output is standard Unicode Persian, which displays right to left in modern browsers, phones and apps like Telegram, WhatsApp and Word. If an English brand name sits in the sentence, its position may look odd in older apps - that's a display quirk, not a translation error.
Can I speak English and get Persian?
Yes. Voice mode uses your browser's speech recognition (Chrome, Edge or Safari) to turn your English into text, then translates it. Listen can read the Persian aloud if a Persian voice is installed on your device.
Can I translate an image into Persian?
Yes. Image mode accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF and BMP. Text is recognised in your browser, you can edit it, and the Persian translation is returned as text.
Can I translate Persian back to English?
Yes. Use the Persian to English translator, or press the swap button at the top of the page.
