Arabic Translation Tips & Challenges
For Arabic translation services, accurate outcomes are a result of understanding the key considerations in text and spoken language presentations. Keep these concepts in mind. As a Central Semitic language, Arabic requires the use of a different system of letters. Font selection for websites and document translation must be monitored carefully. Using simple cut- (or copy-) and-paste functions may lose Arabic formatting in the process, which might result in incomprehensible text.
Arabic does not have a verb form that means “to be”. This means that translating from English will require occasionally dropping words.
Context is also important in translating to and from Arabic. Working with native translators will save your translation projects from a cookie-cutter, word-by-word approach.
Many Arabic words are used popularly in English, but may include pronunciations that have changed over time and across cultures.
Arabic reads right to left with sentences ending with a hard stop at full left. This is, of course, the opposite of English. For websites and printed materials, text should be right justified. These justification rules also carry over to text in columns and tables. They also read right to left.
If English words are used as part of an Arabic text, those words will read left to right within the context of the Arabic sentence or phrase.
Numbers will also translate differently. Although English speakers refer to the numbers they use as “Arabic” numbers, they are more closely related to Hindi numbers. Arabic numbers are written differently.
Arabic Varieties and Dialects
Arabic is the sixth most spoken language in the world, with over 300 million Arabic speakers. Like many other languages, Arabic has different dialects that vary from region to region.
However, another distinction in the Arabic language is that it also has different forms the language can take, depending on the medium.
As a Central Semitic language, Arabic shares roots with Aramaic and Hebrew. Classic or Quranic Arabic reflects those roots and is most often used in more formal settings and in the Quran.
Modern Standard Arabic is the form of the language that is used in conversation and in other forms of modern communication like books, newspapers, and movies.
While Classic Arabic does not change, Modern Standard Arabic will include many different dialects depending on where it is being communicated. The most commonly used dialect within the Modern Standard is the Egyptian colloquial form.
Over 51 million individuals speak this dialect of Arabic, with the majority of those (49 million) being native speakers in Egypt.
Professional Arabic Translators
Many people have used automatic translation services on search engines or international websites to get a general idea of what is being said. This might work for simple words or phrases, but to maximize the possibilities of eCommerce, grow new product lines, or illuminate eLearning concepts, professional translation is necessary.
Native Arabic speakers can evaluate the context and audience of projects in a way that automated translation cannot. Our Arabic translators are chosen after rigorous testing to determine those with a passion for Arabic and English and a deep understanding of both. We look for translators who have excellent communication skills, experience in different subjects, and meticulous grammar and vocabulary skills to work on your projects.
We have developed a rigorous onboarding process that emphasizes efficiency without sacrificing quality and accuracy. We combine that with a quest for the highest level of customer service, and the ability to work with and build on our extensive technological resources to enhance and deliver translation services more rapidly.

Arabic Website Translation Services
Developing a global presence in today's world is difficult without accurate website translation services. Arabic may be one of the more minor languages currently in use on the internet, and there is significant room for growth with products in Arabic-speaking markets. Data from November of 2021 indicates that the number of web pages on the internet in Arabic is low at 1.7%, which ranks them 11th among the world's languages. However, the number of Arabic speakers who use the internet is higher. Arabic users account for 5.2% of internet users, which ranks them 4th.
For Arabic-speaking countries, providing a wide array of website translation services is vital to the growth of the economy, and shows potential increased growth for web-related services. This provides fertile space for companies willing to invest.

Manuals, tutorials, help and resource files, and every aspect of the user interface needs clear, relevant translations. Having video instructions, an online knowledge base, and FAQs in Arabic will help to validate your business as one that cares about the user experience for every user, regardless of their language.

The eSports market forecast is on track to continue with significant growth.
Andovar’s effective approach to Arabic translation services for gaming includes hiring Arabic gamers for our game translation services.

That’s why companies like EA and Gameloft rely on our game translation services. Our experience extends to every gaming format, including PC, console, MMOG, mobile, handheld, and VR environments.
Every aspect of gaming requires translation to increase your reach and engage new audiences:
User Interfaces
The gaming community seeks to engage with the universe captured by developers and other players around the world. Your interface needs to provide a bridge to that landscape and fictional world in a way that continues to engage everyone in your target audience.
Dialog
Don’t let the nuance and prose of dialog invented by your game developers get lost in translated versions. Andovar oversees all aspects of dialog translation like subtitling, dubbing, and recording.
Marketing & Advertising
Official marketing and advertising channels should be translated as a standard part of any campaign for new games. And don’t forget all forms of marketing: video walkthroughs, social media, expert video endorsements, and tournament sponsorships.
User Reviews
User reviews aren’t very helpful if they can’t be read by your customers all over the world. Reviews are incredibly important to your product when it is being positively received by users in different countries. New users put a lot of trust into the virtual word-of-mouth that comes from fellow gamers.
Mobile App Descriptions
Maximize your organic traffic and downloads with optimized product definitions that are properly translated.

Arabic Language Facts
The Arabic language is over 1,500 years old. With its classical origins beginning around the sixth century, there are also scholars who believe that versions of the language go back even further. Arabic is a Central Semitic language and is related to Aramaic and Hebrew.
Unlike the standard alphabet that most English speakers are used to, Arabic uses an abjad writing system. In this system, each letter represents a consonant sound. Vowels are typically represented by a vowel mark and not by an actual letter. One of the trickiest parts of translating to Arabic is making sure the speaker understands the different sounds. There are some sounds in Arabic that do not exist in other languages.
Around the world, there are over 300 million speakers of Arabic. The United Nations recognizes six official languages, and Arabic is one of them. The number of countries that recognize Arabic as their official language is between 22 and 26.
The English language includes many words that have origins in Arabic. These include admiral, coffee, giraffe, alcohol, algebra, algorithm, and alkaline. The word 'al' in Arabic is translated in English as 'the', so many words with al at the beginning maybe Arabic in origin. The designation of 'x' in algebraic equations is derived from an Arabic word pronounced 'shay', meaning thing. The Spanish translation of this word was written as 'xay', which was abbreviated to 'x' in formulas.
