The same product in English and in Arabic
An example of the work: the same screen in English and in Arabic. The layout is reversed, the progress bar runs the other way, and every element sits where an Arabic user expects it.

03 What changes
Layouts rebuilt for right-to-left reading
Arabic changes more than the words. Margins swap sides, images move, tables reverse and line lengths shift. We rebuild the layout so the Arabic version is as carefully set as the English.
- Rebuilt in the source file, never by a plugin
- Correctly shaped Arabic type, no broken letters
- Checked by native speakers before delivery
04 Your Arabic team
A dedicated Arabic team for ongoing work
If you release updates regularly, keep the same Arabic team on standby: the same linguists, your glossary, and people who already know your product.
The same team every release
A named contact and the same linguists each time, so your glossary and tone keep growing with every job.
Turnarounds measured in days
Text and updates come back in your own tools and formats, at the speed you release.
Stable, predictable pricing
Quoted per project within one working day, with rates that stay stable across the year.
05 One language, many markets
Modern Standard Arabic, or the dialect your market speaks
We write Modern Standard Arabic when you are addressing every Arab market, and in a regional dialect when one market needs a local voice. We will advise you on which is right for your project.
The same question in three Arabic voices. Choosing the right one for your market is part of our job.

06 Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide certified translations?
No. This studio does localisation and creative work only. For certified document translations accepted by UK authorities, use our sister company Arabic Translation UK.
Which Arabic do you write?
Modern Standard Arabic by default, because every Arab market reads it. When a project needs to feel local we adapt to Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine and other regional voices, and we tell you when that is worth doing.
How is pricing calculated?
Per project: words for text, minutes for video and voiceover, screens for courses, pages for layout work. You get one fixed quote before we start, usually within one working day.
Can you work under NDA?
Yes, as standard. NDAs are signed before we see a file, and confidential product material stays confidential.
Can you build a course rather than localise one?
Yes. Send a brief and source material and we script, record and build the course in Arabic from the start, delivered as a tested SCORM or xAPI package.
Where are you based?
Cardiff, United Kingdom, as part of the Lingo Service group, working with clients worldwide.
