The Speaker of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly announced that the state government is developing a translator system to enable Kashmiri language use in the house.
The Speaker of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly said the state government is working on a real‑time translator facility that will allow members to speak and understand Kashmiri during proceedings.
The proposed system is intended to complement Hindi and English, ensuring that legislators from Kashmiri‑speaking constituencies can participate fully without language barriers.
Officials indicated that the project is being designed in consultation with language experts and will undergo a pilot phase before being rolled out across the assembly.
While no exact launch date was disclosed, the government has signalled that the facility could be operational in the near future as part of broader efforts to promote regional languages in governance.
