Arabic translation for businesses in Dubai and the GCC

Gulf audiences notice when Arabic has been translated for “the Arab world” in general rather than for them. I adapt register, vocabulary and cultural references for UAE and Saudi readers where the content calls for it, and use Modern Standard Arabic where broad reach matters. Delivery is fully online, on Gulf working hours.

Do you offer certified or legal translation?

No. I focus on marketing, digital, media, editorial, educational and professional content rather than certified or sworn legal documents.

Is my content kept confidential?

Yes. Your materials are handled with discretion and never shared. I'm happy to sign an NDA.

What's the difference between translation and localization?

Translation converts the words; localization adapts the whole message, including tone, cultural references and format, so it feels native to a specific market, such as the Gulf.
