About the English section of Shahrzad News
The primary focus of Shahrzad News is its Farsi language website. This section in English is compiled each week and includes summaries of a selection of articles that have been published in Farsi. Each week, Shahrzad News chooses the most important issue regarding Iran and/or women. Selected items are then rewritten, summarised and translated into English for non-Iranian readers. While it is not possible to translate all of the Farsi content into English, we are able to offer about five percent of our Farsi content to English language readers. |
