Types of Arabic Translation
Originating on the Arabian Peninsula before spreading across the Middle East and North Africa with the expansion of Islam, Arabic is a Semitic language with a history spanning over 1500 years. It’s spoken by around 310 million people as a native language, making it one of the top six most spoken languages in the world.
Our team manages numerous specialist Arabic translation projects annually, partnering with a diverse range of clients across multiple industries, from small businesses to large multinational corporations.
Our Arabic translation services extend to a wide variety of content, including websites, product specifications and catalogues, marketing material, newsletters and much more.

The Arab world includes lucrative markets with growing economies such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

Arab Business Etiquette
Personal relationships and trust are paramount in the Arab business world. Take the time to get to know your business partners and invest in building strong, respectful relationships before moving into serious business discussions.
Arab business culture is typically hierarchical. Showing respect to senior figures and those in positions of authority is important. Addressing individuals by their proper titles and in order of seniority demonstrates respect.
Dressing conservatively is very important. Men should wear suits and ties, and women should wear modest clothing, covering shoulders and knees at a minimum. However, this can be dependent on the specific norms of a particular region.
Negotiations in Arab cultures can be prolonged. Patience and persistence are crucial. It’s also important to avoid hard selling, high-pressure tactics, or any form of confrontation, as these can be counterproductive. Indirect communication is common, with an emphasis on politeness and avoiding ‘no’ as an answer.
Business tip: Islam plays a central role in daily life in many Arabic-speaking countries. Be aware of prayer times, especially the Friday prayer, and the holy month of Ramadan, during which business hours may change, and working rhythms slow down as people fast during daylight hours.

Our expert translators will choose the appropriate dialect for the target audience or opt for Modern Standard Arabic, depending on the content and its intended use.

Q. How Much Are English to Arabic Translations?
