When localizing into the Lao language, you should pay attention to the below useful tips for a successful Lao localization project:

Line-breaking issues may arise due to the lack of space between Lao words.
For various purposes, Lao people use both Arabic and Lao numerals. Formal documents, legal documents, and government documents are the most common uses of Lao numerals. In everyday conversation, however, Arabic numerals are preferred.
In the Lao language, there are four main registers: royal (now obsolete), ecclesiastical, written, and spoken.
Different pronouns and prefixes are used in each register.
The metric system is used in Laos for measurement. Sometimes gold and silver are measured in baht (1 baht = 15g).
The date format is date-month-year.
The time format is either a 24-hour clock or a 12-hour clock.
The full name format is the given name followed by the family name.
The address format follows the template name – house number and street name – town, postcode – country.
The Lao language belongs to the Kra-Dai language family. It is spoken by approximately 15 million people in Laos and North Eastern Thailand.Northeastern Thailand.
In North-Eastern Thailand, Lao is also known as the Isan language.
The Lao language has many regional varieties both in Laos and North Eastern Thailand.
Type of writing system: the syllabic alphabet. Lao script, or Akson Lao, is the primary script used in the Lao language, which was adapted from the Khmer script and is a sister system to the Thai script.
The direction of writing: from left to right in horizontal lines.
Written Lao requires no spaces between words. Instead, spaces indicate the end of a clause or a sentence.
There is no official Latin transliteration system for written Lao.

Why Should You Need Professional Lao Translation Services?

To make a splash in the Lao market, using professional Lao translation services to localize your content is the key. The reasons are:

Unique Language Features

When working and investing in Laos, foreign companies should pay attention to the Lao language’s unique features to avoid regretful misunderstandings. Laos is a tonal language with no spacing between words, which might make inexperienced translators confused.

Low English Proficiency

Lao people have a limited command of the English language. As a result, if your content is only available in English, you will be missing out on a large number of Lao audiences.

Avoid Cultural Misunderstandings

Lao has a diverse cultural heritage. Factors such as customs, traditions, and history must all be carefully considered to avoid misunderstandings and miscommunication.

Lao Translation Services Q&A

As a qualified Lao translation company, GTE Localize considers a variety of factors affecting the Lao translation cost when determining the exact cost of a Lao translation project:

Project volume: We usually provide a quote based on the number of words or characters of your source documents.
Types of Services: Translation Only, Translation + Editing, and Translation + Editing + Proofreading are the three types of Lao translation services we provide. If more steps are required, the rate will be higher.
Content Complexity: The complexity of the required domain has an impact on the project’s price. Topics with a low level of expertise are charged less than content with a high level of expertise. The cost of a Lao translation project starts at $0.07 per word.

If you need a quote for your project, please contact our Lao localization team.

The turnaround time of a Lao translation service is affected by factors such as project volume, content complexity, service types, and other special requirements. GTE Localize’s Lao translators can handle 2,500 words per business day on average. If a project is urgent, we can assign it to more translators, increasing our daily capacity to 10,000 words.
