Arabic localisation studio
Make it work in Arabic.
We localise websites, apps, video and training courses into Arabic for teams and agencies: native linguists, right-to-left engineering, and layouts that hold.

01 What we do
Anything that needs to work in Arabic
Six specialist services, one studio. Every project is handled by native Arabic speakers and checked in the format you ship in, not in a spreadsheet.
Website and app localisation
Your product in Arabic, working exactly as it does in English.

03 The right-to-left difference
Layouts that survive Arabic
Arabic is not just different words: the whole page changes direction. Margins swap sides, images move, tables reverse, type stretches. We rebuild the layout so the Arabic version looks as considered as the original.
- Every layout mirrored by hand, never by a plugin
- Correctly shaped Arabic type, no broken letters
- Checked by native speakers before delivery
04 Your Arabic team
Your Arabic team, on tap
Companies that ship every month keep us as their standing Arabic department: same linguists, your glossary, no re-briefing.
The same team every release
A named contact and the same linguists each time, so your glossary and tone build up instead of starting over.
Sprint-speed turnarounds
Strings and updates back in days, in your own tools and formats, sized for release cycles.
Pricing that stays boring
Quoted per project within one working day, stable across the year, so Arabic never surprises the budget.
05 One language, many markets
Standard Arabic, plus the voice your market expects
One Arabic does not fit all. We write Modern Standard Arabic for formal and pan-Arab audiences, and adapt to regional voices when a market needs to feel local. We will tell you honestly when that matters and when it does not.
The same question, three markets. Choosing the right one is part of the job.
Send the source
Share files, a build or a link. We quote on the real scope within one working day.
We localise
Native linguists translate and adapt while engineers handle the right-to-left build.
QA in context
We check the result where users will see it: the live page, the build, the player, the PDF.
You ship
Delivery in your own format, with a named contact and revisions included.
06 Questions
Asked before every first project
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.
