E-ging Solutions is a world-leading Shanghai translation company with specialties in Sikhs and Punjabi Translation.

San Diego is a gorgeous city by the ocean, made up of a diverse population. Part of the diversity that goes into making San Diego such a vibrant part of American life comes from the Sikh community living there. That’s why Punjabi translation plays such an important part in local society and how people come together.

In case you didn’t know, Punjabi is the main language used by Sikhs living in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan — although it’s much stronger in the Indian portion of the Punjab region.

San Diego has had an active Sikh and Punjabi-speaking community for quite some time. This is made evident by the presence of the non-profit Sikh Foundation San Diego, as well as the local Sikh Temple, also known as a ‘Gurdwara.’

Sikhism is a distinct religion coming from the Indian subcontinent. It’s a religion most Americans don’t know very much about. In San Diego, Americans with Sikh heritage have strong ties to the community. This means Punjabi translation and related fields are a part of everyday life for many people living in this oasis of sunshine and surf.

While Punjabi, an Indo-Aryan language, has some things in common with other languages from the region, it is in fact quite different from Hindi or Gujarati, for example. People who work with Punjabi translation have to specialize in this language — as opposed to merely being fluent in other South Asian languages.

A general awareness of how Punjabi-speaking organizations affect the local landscape can make for a better city, and a more knowledgeable population.
