Work With the Best Native Arabic Translators

Over the past few years, there has been a surge in demand for Arabic translations.

This means that the number of companies advertising and offering Arabic translation services has also increased.

Unfortunately, not all of them have the necessary resources and know-how to ensure error-free, high-quality translation.

LingPerfect is different. Our team of native Arabic translators results from a painstaking selection process to create a world-class group of resources. We’ve been interviewing, testing, and auditing, and now we can offer you the best professionals on the market.

The Arabic translation team works exclusively in their mother tongue. In other words, in the case of an Arabic-to-English translation, an English native translator with extensive knowledge of the Arabic language is used. Vice versa, in the case of an English-to-Arabic translation, we resort to a native Arabic speaker.

The result is 100% error-free translation, in compliance with our ISO-certified Quality Management System.

Key Benefits of Hiring Your Arabic Interpreter with LingPerfect

Arabic Translations Trusted by Major Government Agencies

Arabic Business & Finance Professional Translation Services

According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the U.S.’ trade and investment relations with countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have “considerable potential value in terms of both U.S. commercial and foreign policy interests.”

More specifically, a report by Jahani & Associates investment bank says that:

The MENA region’s imports and exports are approximately half the volume of the USA and China.
The MENA region imports approximately 50% as many goods as China.
The MENA region exports approximately 60% as many goods as the USA.

MENA exports are steadily increasing and expanding across all categories.

Suppose you have business in or with MENA countries. In that case, you need your financial Arabic translations (financial reports, legal contracts, etc.) to be absolutely and utterly accurate, and trusting them to an expert may not be enough.

This is why LingPerfect is the best choice: our linguists are trained and certified professionals with minimum 6 years of experience with financial translations. More than that, many of them specialize in domain-specific fields: banking, insurance, and accounting.

You can only achieve consistency and accuracy in your financial translations by following a rigorous quality assurance process. And that is something only a professional financial translation services provider can guarantee.

Every country in the area has seen a remarkable increase in the use of mobile applications, particularly Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, and spending in communication services in the information technology sector in the region was forecasted to reach 120 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.

Arabic-speaking Market Overview

What are MENA Countries?

MENA means the Middle East and North Africa.

The concept of the Middle East depends on geographical, historical, anthropological, religious, economic, and political considerations.

Nowadays, the Middle East mostly means the states of the Arabian Peninsula plus some countries north of it, i.e. the so-called Levant.

The CCASG, or Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf

Created on 25 May 1981, the CCASG or GCC is a regional, political, intergovernmental, and economic organization comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Its purpose is to establish a common market in the Persian Gulf, ensuring both the economic and political stability of the region and the unification of the economic and financial systems of the member countries.

One language, Different Cultures

When talking about the MENA area, one should never forget that although they share the same language, these countries have different cultural backgrounds and traditions.

In a nutshell:

The Gulf States have values, customs, and traditions influenced by the heritage of the Indian subcontinent and Iran.
Yemen has historical ties with the Horn of Africa.
Levant countries are culturally influenced by values, traditions, and customs derived from Europe and the Ottoman Empire.
Egypt has been influenced by Europe and the Ottoman Empire and has a long pre-Islamic history. Sudan is culturally linked to the Middle East, especially in the north, where the capital is located.
The Maghreb is certainly Arab (although many people here are of Berber descent), but there are conflicting views on whether it belongs to the Middle East.

Arabic Language Facts

Arabic is a Semitic language with many regional variants, often very different from each other.
The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 consonants, plus a particular grapheme called hamza and some special graphic symbols.
The Arabic language is written from right to left. The letters have four different forms depending on whether they are at the beginning of a word, in the middle, at the end or isolated.

There is an official Standard Arabic (FUṢḤAH) or Classical Arabic, which is used for written communication and in formal situations.

What You Should Know About Arabic Varieties and Dialects

For oral communication, Standard Arabic is used on a public level or, on a private level, the dialectal language.

Some of these dialects are only partially understood by Arabs from different regions.

For example, the dialects of the Maghreb are considered very different from Standard Arabic, whereas Egyptian and Syrian varieties are the best known and understood thanks to the great popularity of Egyptian and Syrian filmography.

In general, people with a good cultural level are able to express themselves in official Arabic, but the majority of Arabs only use their local dialect.

Arabic Translation Tips

We at LingPerfect are here to assist with your Arabic translation needs.

However, remember that although, according to Statista.com, Arabic is the sixth most spoken language worldwide in 2022, it remains one of the most challenging to translate.

Here are a few tips for you to consider when translating from English to Arabic and back:

Arabic is a Semitic language, while English is an Indo-European language. The two are worlds apart. Therefore, translation requires an experienced professional Arabic translator. Sorry, Google.
Of course, dialects do exist in English (think of regional varieties spoken in Australia or New Zealand). However, when it comes to Arabic, the differences among local varieties are much more significant, and you need a native translator to handle them.
Arabic script is read from right to left. This needs to be taken into consideration when preparing and translating brochures or web pages. In this case, an Arabic DTP specialist would be the best option.

Remember that sometimes the cultural gap is so big that specific Arabic terms and phrases have no English equivalent. E.g. ‘Balet elbahr” literally translates as “go and tile the sea.” This original expression is a provocation used during a moment of anger or affirmation (in some cases, it can be translated as “go and jump in the lake”).
