RASSAND Translation and Interpreting Services
Overview:
RASSAND Translation and Interpreting Services, a part of [AFGHANISTAN TRANSLATION AND RESEARCH CENTER], is a premier provider of high-quality language solutions, offering professional translation, interpreting, editing, and research services. Founded in 2009 as part of the Afghanistan Translation and Research Center (ATRC), RASSAND was established in response to the growing demand for reliable translation services in Afghanistan, particularly during a period of significant international community assistance. Initially based in Kabul, RASSAND has since expanded its services to cover Dubai and India, establishing itself as a regional leader in language services.
History: The foundation of RASSAND was laid in 2009 when a group of experienced translators and interpreters recognized the need for professional language services amidst the increasing international presence in Afghanistan. Under the ATRC, the organization became the first and only institution in the country providing structured translation and interpreting services. As Afghanistan became a hub for international organizations and NGOs, the demand for accurate and culturally sensitive translation grew, positioning ATRC as a critical player. In time, the ATRC split into two divisions: one focused on social and cultural research, and the other, RASSAND, specialized in delivering world-class translation services.
Mission: RASSAND is committed to advancing professional translation, fostering cultural understanding, and contributing to capacity building through its translation and training programs. It aims to enhance language skills and enrich cultural exchange by offering services that meet the highest standards of accuracy, cultural awareness, and linguistic expertise.
Services:

With a team of nationally competitive translators, RASSAND guarantees accuracy and cultural appropriateness in every project. The organization also provides expert editing services, ensuring clarity and precision in various text formats.
Interpreting: RASSAND specializes in high-quality interpreting services, facilitating communication across language barriers for conferences, meetings, and official events.
Research: Through its parent organization ATRC, RASSAND conducts in-depth research on various topics, with a special focus on translation and linguistic studies. Supported by cultural and academic experts, these research projects aim to improve translation techniques and promote linguistic and cultural preservation.
Publications: RASSAND and ATRC have a robust publishing arm, producing magazines, books, research papers, and articles that cover diverse fields including translation, language studies, and cultural research.
Capacity Building: The organization is dedicated to improving language and translation skills through its capacity-building programs. RASSAND regularly hosts workshops, training programs, seminars, and informative campaigns that focus on language skills, translation techniques, and cultural awareness.
