Modern Standard Arabic & Regional Arabic Requirements
Arabic is used across many countries, and the appropriate language form can depend on whether the project involves a formal written document or spoken audio.
Modern Standard Arabic
Formal written documents, official records, professional correspondence and much published Arabic content generally use Modern Standard Arabic.
For document translation, we assess the wording, country of origin, document type and intended use before assigning the project.
Regional & Spoken Varieties
Spoken Arabic varies between countries and regions. This becomes particularly important for interviews, recordings, transcription and interpreting.
For spoken-language projects, tell us the country or Arabic variety where known so that the appropriate language resource can be confirmed.
Tell us the country connected to the document
For official or certified translation, providing the country of origin, destination country, receiving authority and intended use can help us assess the appropriate Arabic translation requirements.
Certified Arabic Translation Services
Arabic documents intended for formal submission may require certified or sworn translation depending on the receiving authority.
Certified Arabic Translation
Certified translation can be arranged for Arabic documents used for immigration, education, employment, legal, administrative and other official purposes.
The receiving organisation determines the certification format that it requires.
Sworn Arabic Translation
Where a sworn translation is specifically requested, the appropriate service can be assessed according to the language direction, document and receiving authority.
Any requirement for authentication, notarisation, apostille or legalisation should be confirmed separately.
Translation and apostille are separate processes
A translation does not automatically become apostilled because it is certified or sworn. Certification, authentication, notarisation, apostille and legalisation can involve separate requirements.
Where possible, send us the receiving authority's written instructions before the translation is finalised.

Send us clear copies and tell us whether you require Arabic to English or English to Arabic. If the translation is for official use, also tell us the destination country and receiving authority.
