Arabic Translation Services

Arabic Translation

In order to launch a product or service in the Arabic-speaking world, or for a targeted sales and marketing campaign to the US Arabic populations, a company should consider a suite of services known collectively as "Globalization Services." Arabic Globalization Services include offerings such as Arabic website translation, Arabic software translation, Arabic document translation, Arabic website localization, and Arabic software localization. These services involve much more than just finding Arabic translators or Arabic Translation Company. They also include:

Arabic Internationalization of software and websites ensure that your application or site function properly for the Arabic market, correctly handling special Arabic characters, display of time and dates and local currency.

Arabic Localization of websites and software will make sure that your site or application are correctly translated and accurately transmit your message to your target audience of Arabic-speaking customers.

Arabic translation and desktop publishing of documentation makes sure that your user print materials (contracts, marketing collateral or manuals), display properly and accurately in Arabic.

Arabic software testing verifies that your software application functions properly for your targeted Arabic-speaking users. Designated hardware platforms, web browsers and test scripts must be used to guarantee that the end-user experience for Arabic-speaking customers will be as satisfying as if the application had been developed specifically for the Arabic market.

Arabic website testing validates that your website functions properly for your Arabic users. As with software testing, proper web browsers, hardware devices and test scripts must be used to ensure a satisfying experience for your Arabic end-users.

The Return on Investment (ROI) for localizing your content can be significant, regardless of whether your projects involve eLearning, Learning Management Systems (LMS), or industry-specific content like Medicine or Law.

Arabic Translation Services

The Middle East and Arabic region is a very large consumer market, with over 20 countries that encompass 220 million Arabic-speaking people. The Arabic-speaking region has experienced exponential growth in high speed Internet access over the last 5 years.  Arabic translation services are absolutely essential in order to convey your message and content to the Arabic speakers in terms that they can understand. Although many Arabic speakers have some familiarity with the English language, the most effective means for reaching this growing market is through Arabic websites, Arabic software, and Arabic language documentation.

Arabic translation is just one component in a larger process known as Arabic globalization. Adapting your product's software, documentation, and website functionally to be linguistically, and culturally appropriate for Arabic speakers makes up the process of Arabic globalization.

Arabic Website Translation

Regional customers are four times more likely to purchase products or services online if website content is translated into their language, according to research by IDC. Arabic website translation services range from simple, HTML-only Arabic websites to complex, database-driven Arabic web applications. The translation company you select to localize your Arabic websites must be proficient in translating source file content like Java scripts, HTML, XML, XLIFF, database exports, graphic files, PHP files, FLASH and action script files.

Arabic Software Translation

An authentic Arabic software user experience will only be achieved with appropriate Arabic localization of your user interface and content. This includes Arabic translation of menu commands, online help and installation instructions. The language translation services partner who performs your Arabic software translation partner must prove their ability in dealing with programming, scripting, and mark-up languages such as Java, XML, C/C++, VB.net and C#. Factors that must be modified for Arabic consumers include Right to Left (RTL) text display, various regional calendar displays (Hijri calendars) and currencies.

Arabic Document Translation

Printed materials such as books, manuals, user guides, promotional brochures, menus, ads, banners, marketing materials and financial reports comprise Arabic document translation. Document types vary from industry to industry and range from packaging, marketing materials to user manuals. All such documents must be linguistically and visually consistent with the original source files. Common layout applications include the Middle East (ME) versions of InDesign, QuarkXPress, MS Word and PowerPoint, while graphics are often created and edited in ME Illustrator or ME PhotoShop.
