Arabic Subtitling: Professional Arabic Subtitle Translator
I provide Arabic subtitling and timed-text services for audiovisual content: films, series, documentaries, corporate videos, e-learning, advertising and social media video. Good subtitles are invisible: viewers follow the story without noticing they're reading. That's the standard I work to.
What's included
- Translation of dialogue and on-screen text into Arabic (from English, French or Turkish)
- Timing and synchronization to the video
- Reading-speed and line-length control for comfortable viewing
- Consistent terminology and character voice across episodes or series
- Delivery in SRT, VTT and other formats on request
Newsroom standard, every project
I currently subtitle and edit news content for Asharq News, a Gulf-based network reaching audiences across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider region, as part of my work with Deluxe, one of the world's largest media localization companies. That daily newsroom standard, accurate, fast and culturally right for Gulf viewers, is what I bring to every subtitling project.
Content types
Film, series and documentaries
Dialogue that stays natural under timing constraints.
Corporate, training and e-learning
Clear, consistent terminology across modules.
Advertising, social and events
Short-form video, interviews and conference recordings.
Why it matters for Arabic
Arabic is written right to left, often runs longer than English, and varies in register between formal and spoken. Subtitles that ignore this end up either too long to read or too stiff to feel natural. I adapt phrasing to the tone of the content and, where relevant, to Gulf or Levantine audiences.
