Are you trying to reach Arabic speakers and need a reliable English to Arabic translation service? In the UK, less than 1% of the population speaks this prolific language.

In providing Arabic translation services, our team of native-speaking experts delivers excellent quality. Follow these tips to get the best possible English to Arabic translation.

1. Know the dialect of Arabic translation you need.
2. Remember Arabic is read from right to left.
3. Consider cultural differences and know they can’t be translated
4. Know and understand your audience.
5. Consider layout – Arabic characters are shorter than English.
6. Check your platform’s support for both right to left (Arabic) and left to right (English) translations if offering dual language services.
7. Make sure the translation aligns with your company’s strategy.
8. Provide clear English for translation and use short sentences.

Accurate English to Arabic Translation

For an accurate English to Arabic translation, there are particularly a few rules. First, the translator needs to see the objective of the message you want to convey, to tailor the translation effectively. The clearer the English, the better the Arabic translation will be. It’s essential to understand the audience you’re translating for, but don’t forget to keep this aligned to your company’s mission.

Part of understanding the audience is to know the dialect required for your English to Arabic translation. As a widely spoken global language, there are multiple dialects across the Arab-speaking world. A client in Saudi Arabia will need a different type of Arabic translation than your client in Oman or Egypt. This cannot be taken for granted because your translation will not be comprehensible to the target audience if it’s in the wrong dialect. Following these tips ensures the transcreation – how we maintain the intent, style and tone of the message in the translation process – has the best accuracy.
