Rohingya translation services
Rohingya is an Indo-Aryan language of Rakhine State in Myanmar, closely related to Chittagonian across the border in south-eastern Bangladesh. Two questions decide a Rohingya brief before any other: which script the audience can actually read, and whether the audience reads at all.
Written Rohingya literacy is far narrower than spoken use, so a printed notice can reach fewer people than a recorded or interpreted version of the same message.
Medical interpretation deployment is the closest available match, with script, dialect, reviewer fit, and content type made explicit before scoping.

MoniSa scopes Rohingya by confirming the script convention, the reading position of the audience, and the setting the work belongs to. Where a written file would not reach the people it is meant for, interpreted or recorded delivery is scoped instead of it.

Buyer need
When Rohingya translation needs more than a language name.
For Rohingya, the buyer risk is variant lock, RTL handling, and terminology neutrality, not generic translation quality. MoniSa confirms script, dialect, reviewer, and service fit against the brief before production begins.
Service answer
Rohingya translation depends on audience, script, and review fit.
Rohingya is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language of Rakhine State in Myanmar, closely related to Chittagonian spoken across the border in south-eastern Bangladesh, and it is not a variety of Burmese, which belongs to a different family entirely. It has been written in several systems: the purpose-built Hanifi Rohingya script, Arabic script, Burmese script, and a Latin transliteration. Because written literacy is far narrower than spoken use, the practical question on most Rohingya programmes is not which script to typeset but whether typesetting reaches anyone at all.
MoniSa confirms the reviewer path, review depth, and delivery timing for Rohingya in the project brief. Every assigned linguist is verified for the variety and domain your project needs. We publish coverage and review depth, not the routes we recruit through.

Humanitarian and displacement response programmes
Humanitarian and displacement response programmes
Registration, health and protection messaging has to reach an audience that mostly listens rather than reads, so the deliverable is often audio or an interpreted session rather than a document.
Immigration court proceedings
Immigration court proceedings
Hearings, interviews and representation meetings are booked as interpreted sessions with a date attached, and the register of the session matters as much as the language.
Hospitals and community clinics
Hospitals and community clinics
Appointments, consent conversations and follow-up calls need an interpreter on site, on video or on the phone, with the script question deferred entirely because nothing is being written.
Speech and language data programmes

Rohingya is thinly represented in existing datasets, and the script variation means collection and transcription decisions have to be fixed in the specification rather than left to the annotator.
The Rohingya delivery process
How MoniSa QA works for Rohingya translation.
Rohingya work runs through the same three-stage review MoniSa applies to any language: a qualified linguist produces, a second reviews against the source, and a final check confirms the result fits the script convention and the register the audience needs. Written translation is delivered under ISO 17100 certification, which covers translation services; live interpreting is delivered under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification. Scarce coverage does not lower the review bar.
Decide the channel before the script
A Rohingya brief starts with who has to receive the message and how they will receive it. If the audience is largely non-reading, the deliverable is scoped as audio or as an interpreted session, and the script question does not arise. If it is written, the script convention is fixed in the brief before production.
Screen for the setting the work comes from
Assignment adds a language check in the pair and a domain screen against the setting the work comes from, so clinical, legal and protection registers are treated as separate qualifications. Everyone who touches the work signs the confidentiality agreement before receiving access.
Deliver with the channel and the route recorded
Written Rohingya work is reviewed by a second qualified linguist before release, under MoniSa's ISO 17100 certification, which covers translation services, and the script convention is confirmed as part of that review. Live sessions are confirmed with the modality and named backup coverage recorded in writing.
Channel decided against the audience
Channel decided against the audience
The brief records whether the audience reads, and in which script, before a format is chosen, so a written deliverable is never the default answer to a spoken problem.
Heightened handling for sensitive material
Heightened handling for sensitive material
Protection, immigration and clinical content is treated as high-sensitivity personal data, with access scoped to the assignment and removed when it closes.
No published provenance

MoniSa publishes coverage and review depth for Rohingya, and does not publish where or through whom its Rohingya linguists are found. For this language that is a safety control, not a commercial one.
Live interpreting
Rohingya interpreting: what a live session covers.
Rohingya reaches MoniSa more often as a spoken request than a written one — a hearing, an appointment, a call that cannot continue until someone present speaks Rohingya. That work is scoped separately from translation on this page, because it is bought in a different unit.
Interpreting in Rohingya means a qualified interpreter renders a live conversation between Rohingya and another language, delivered in one of three ways: on an audio call, over a video link, or in the room. It is not translation. Translation produces a written deliverable and is quoted on volume, file type and review depth; interpreting is a live event with a date, a duration and a setting, and is booked as time. That is also how the two appear on a quote — content on one line, time on the other — so a matter that needs both is scoped as two pieces of work rather than one. MoniSa sources and screens interpreters across 300+ languages and 4,500+ dialects from its network of 110,000+ verified language specialists, and operates under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification.
Screening for a Rohingya session starts with the variety the speaker actually uses, because a near match is not a match once a conversation is under way. The interpreter is then checked in the working pair and screened against the setting the session comes from, so a clinical encounter, a legal proceeding and a school meeting count as separate qualifications rather than one. Everyone assigned signs the confidentiality agreement before receiving access, and named backup coverage is recorded alongside the primary assignment. What MoniSa publishes is the coverage and the screening, never the routes it recruits through.
Audio line
Over the phone
An audio line connects faster than any other modality, which makes it the right route for short, unscheduled exchanges — an intake call, a benefits query, an appointment booking — where nothing visual carries meaning.
Over-the-phone interpretationVideo link
Over a video link
A live video link is used when a document, a device, a physical examination or a signed language is part of the conversation, and when the people in the room and the interpreter need to see each other without anyone travelling.
Video remote interpretingClinical setting
In a patient encounter
A clinical encounter adds a credential requirement and a domain screen on top of the language check, because a summarised symptom or a softened instruction changes the care that follows.

Buyer questions
Ask the questions weak vendors avoid.
Short answers for buyers checking fit, coverage, quality method, and next-step readiness.
What script is Rohingya written in?
Several. The purpose-built Hanifi Rohingya script, Arabic script, Burmese script, and a Latin transliteration are all in use, and which one a given audience can read is a project decision. MoniSa fixes the script convention in the brief before production rather than letting a template choose it.
Is Rohingya a dialect of Burmese?
No. Rohingya is an Indo-Aryan language and Burmese is Tibeto-Burman, so they belong to different families and are not mutually intelligible. Rohingya's closest well-documented relative is Chittagonian, spoken across the border in south-eastern Bangladesh.
Should a Rohingya message be written or recorded?
Often recorded, or interpreted live. Written Rohingya literacy is far narrower than spoken use, so a document can satisfy the request and still miss most of the intended audience. MoniSa scopes the channel against the audience before choosing a format.
Where do your Rohingya linguists come from?
MoniSa does not publish that. Naming the communities or routes through which Rohingya linguists are found would put people at risk, so the company publishes coverage, review depth and the screening a linguist passes, and keeps provenance out of public material.
Do I need Rohingya interpreting or Rohingya translation?
Translation is written: a document, a record, a subtitle track, delivered as content and quoted on volume and review depth. Interpreting is spoken: a live conversation on the phone, over video or in the room, booked as time with a date attached. A hearing, an appointment or a call needs an interpreter; a form, a notice or a record needs a translation, and most matters need both. MoniSa scopes them separately, because the sourcing, the screening and the unit of work differ, and confirms which one the brief actually needs before quoting.

Buyers rarely start with who we are. They start with a list of fields to fill. Here are ours, so the first email can be about the work instead.
- Languages and locales
- 300+ languages and 4,500+ dialects, quoted per locale rather than per language — because the dialect decides whether a dataset is usable, whether a market accepts a release, and which specialist the work goes to.
- Specialist network
- 110,000+ verified language specialists — linguists, annotators, and reviewers — plus voice talent and subtitlers, matched to the language, domain and task before assignment.
- Capacity and mobilisation
- Named availability confirmed per pair before scoping. Coverage is reported as staffed today or needing a recruitment window, in writing, before a launch date or release window is agreed.
- Sourcing constraints
- Specialists can be sourced against geographic, residency, locale and demographic requirements — including native-only, in-country, and speaker-diversity quotas where a data programme demands them.
- Deliverables and specs
- Work is delivered to the receiving specification: structured formats and schemas for data and annotation work, and timed-text, audio and platform conformance for media — subtitle reading speed, line limits, cue timing, channel and sample-rate requirements included.
- Comparable work
- 62 documented case studies stating the scope, the constraint that made it difficult, and the measured result — across AI data programmes, partner overflow, and media releases. 2,000+ AI projects delivered and 1,000+ brands served since 2015.
- Certifications
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management, ISO 27001:2022 information security, and ISO 17100 translation services — scoped to translation specifically, and stated that way rather than implied across every line.
- Commercial basis
- Quoted in the unit the work is measured in — per word, per audio hour, per approved hour, per finished minute, per batch, per item — with what the unit includes stated alongside it, whether the quote is for you or for a client you quote onward.
