Yiddish Translation

As a pro translator, I love Yiddish translation, but I must admit that there are many Yiddish words are just so hard to translate without losing their true flavor and meaning. Luckily many colorful Yiddish expressions have entered the English language and are now generally used by habitancy around the world.

Do you feel like kvetching?

Are you a klutz? a schlemiel? a shmendrik? a shmo?

Yiddish is so much fun, though it seems to be more replete with curses and insults than most other languages!

Yiddish was the mama-loshen (mother tongue) of the Jewish habitancy throughout much of Europe for close to 1,000 years. It is a hybrid of German, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Slavic languages. In other words, it's as rich, involved and diverse as the Jewish communities that molded it. There are Jewish communities where Yiddish is still widely spoken and taught, and the language continues to morph and adapt to the times.

Yiddish is a language rich in history, culture and memory, and though most Jewish habitancy cannot speak it fluently nowadays, it remains a source of identity and many words and phrases have been maintained. There is a ever-present for Yiddish translation from habitancy who want to translate historical documents like books, songs, letters and articles, either from the group archives or their own family's collection, from Yiddish into English. The majority of European Jewish culture and heritage was documented in Yiddish, there is a wealth of history that can be opened up to a new generation through Yiddish Translation.

Often old Yiddish documents have traveled many miles and survived many ordeals, along with their Jewish owners. Jewish habitancy have taken great risks to hold and protect foremost and sacred Yiddish documents and records. As a result, they are often in poor and/or brittle condition and are hard to read due to the handwriting. While pro Yiddish translators do not handle traditional documents, due to their value, scans and photocopies can be even harder to decipher!
