Arabic Translation Considerations
When translating Arabic documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Always confirm which Arabic dialect or country variant the client requires, as legal and administrative terminology varies significantly between countries such as Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.
Arabic text requires right-to-left (RTL) layout; ensure bidirectional text handling is correct, especially in documents mixing Arabic and English.
Diacritical marks (tashkeel/harakat) are generally omitted in everyday text but may be needed in legal or religious documents for precision.
Arabic script is cursive and right-to-left, with contextual letter shaping (initial, medial, final, isolated forms). Requires fonts with proper OpenType shaping such as Traditional Arabic, Simplified Arabic, or Noto Naskh Arabic. Documents must support bidirectional text (BiDi) when mixing Arabic and Latin scripts. Line height needs to accommodate diacritical marks above and below characters.
