Arabic translation services
Modern Standard Arabic, set right-to-left, ready for the page.
Arabic at a glance
Arabic is a diglossic language — Modern Standard Arabic for formal settings, regional dialects for everyday speech. We match dialect to use case so a Yemeni asylum-seeker gets a Yemeni interpreter, not a Moroccan one.
Nearly all written Arabic is Modern Standard Arabic, so documents travel well across the Arab world. The script runs right to left, which means mirrored layouts, careful handling of embedded numerals and Latin text, and a typography check on the final file — not just the copy.
Arabic has more than 420 million native speakers across 25+ countries. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
