Arabic Translation Agencies

Translation is a growing industry with new translation agencies constantly arriving on the scene. Each translation agency is different with its own language and technology strengths. For example, a translation agency may or may not offer Arabic translation, depending on its business model. Even Arabic translation agencies differ from one another, with some choosing to supplement Arabic translation services with Arabic internationalization, localization, desktop publishing, testing, and globalization consulting services.

Arabic Translation
Arabic translation agencies provide translations for a wide spectrum of industries, including finance, life sciences, legal, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, information technology, and more. Many Arabic translation companies provide translation services for three basic media: software and associated components, Web sites, and documentation.

Arabic Internationalization
Arabic Internationalization (I18n) is the process of enabling back-end technologies to function or support the Arabic language and the locales in which it is used.

Arabic Localization
Localization deals primarily with the front-end or linguistic and cosmetic aspects of a software application or Web site, including locale-specific content, cultural correctness, translations, and design. Arabic translation agencies can adapt a product for Arabic-speaking markets by localizing it specifically for those countries.

Arabic Desktop Publishing
Arabic document translation refers to the translation of printed materials such as user guides, medical inserts, financial information, and more. Arabic translation agencies that provide this service are also likely to provide Arabic desktop publishing, which involves maintaining the formatting specifications of the source documents.

Arabic Testing
In order to ensure your localized Arabic Web site or software application is fully functional and completely adapted to target users, an Arabic translation agency must use experienced Arabic testers and follow a thorough test plan.

Arabic Globalization Consulting Services
Some Arabic translation agencies choose to offer globalization consulting services, which provide consultation and education in areas such as site promotion, target markets analysis, cultural correctness analysis, and more.
