Quality Assurance

We have a robust quality assurance system in place:

Stage 1: The Arabic or English text is allocated to a translator with the right experience, expertise and knowledge of the local dialect. 

Stage 2: Once the translator has completed the translation, they do a second thorough check to ensure nothing was lost in translation.

Stage 3: Once the translator has completed the second check and is 100% happy with the translation, we allocate it to an editor/proofreader who verifies that the translation is accurate and faithful to the original text, and is translated from Arabic to English or English to Arabic idiomatically and clearly. The final check is done by a native speaker of the target language, i.e the language the text is translated into.

How do we translate your document?

Both Arabic and English are very rich languages that are full of nuances and subtleties. That is why Machine translation software, programmes or tools can never replace human translators who have the requisite skill, knowledge and cultural sense and understanding of the context.

As a professional Arabic translation services provider, we do all our translation work manually via highly qualified translators and linguists. We never use Google Translate or any similar tools, which – no matter how advanced they may be – cannot understand the subtext of the document. Indeed, for even some native speaker translators, an Arabic text would need to be read multiple times and deciphered before being translated into English.

We not only rely on human brains to do our job, but we also ensure that each translation assignment or request is allocated to the right translator, depending on the areas they specialise in and their mother tongue in relation to the source and target language.

By doing so, we ensure that your assignment is handled by a specialist professional translator who knows their area of expertise inside out and upholds the highest values of accuracy, faithfulness and idiomatic language in their translations.

Once the translation is completed, it is then sent for a review and final check by a senior translator editor to make sure that it is an excellent rendition of the original, be it English or Arabic. All our translations are proofread before delivery by a native English or Arabic speaker.

Why does high-quality Arabic English translation service matter?

Today, the Arabic language is spoken  by over 250 million people in the Middle East and North Africa, let alone many others elsewhere.

It is the official language used in laws, contracts, marketing material, agreements, business deals, press releases, and many other written forms.

For this reason, Arabic translation is a service of vital and crucial importance, so it goes without saying that getting your original Arabic or English text translated accurately, expertly and idiomatically is an absolute necessity.

Over the past years, the translation market has attracted amateur translators and linguists who do not have any qualifications and think that translation is a matter of replacing words from one language with others without capturing the heart and soul and the correct meaning of the original text.

Regrettably, many of today's Arabic translations are not even performed by humans but by Google Translate, which can lead to serious consequences if relied on. No matter how developed it is, Google Translate can never do the job of a professional Arabic-English/English-Arabic translator. 

If you do a quick search online about how many times catastrophes could occur because of mistranslation or a poor quality translation, you will find hundreds and hundreds of examples.

Above all, translation is not an easy task, it is a highly complex process that needs certain requirements to be successfully delivered: a complete grasp of the original, expert knowledge of language (target and source) and immaculate skill to render the heart and soul of the text into the target language without fail.

Why our Arabic to English translation services are genuinely unique?

Translating from Arabic into English or from English into Arabic is never an easy job; in fact, it is a very serious challenge to be able to convey what is said, for example, in Arabic into English whilst protecting and not losing any of the following: meaning, purport, tone, style, connotation, among other aspects.

The same goes for the translation of English-language texts into Arabic. The reason is simple: the two languages represent two completely different cultures, realities and settings.

Let’s take a simple example: donkey. If you call, or describe, someone a donkey in an Arabic context, it means you have insulted and degraded him.

The word donkey is never used as a word of insult in the European culture. That was just one simple example to shed some light on how tricky and genuinely difficult it can be translate between a language pair representing two different cultures.

Fully aware of this fact, we have set in place very stringent requirements for our translators and language reviewers, in order to be able to deliver to our clients an Arabic translation service that is genuinely accurate, faithful and in the meantime idiomatic.

Our translators are bilingual or at least people who experienced both cultures first-hand over a long period of time. Bilinguals who lived in countries of both cultures are able to deliver the meaning from one language to another “intact” in the most understandable form.

Similarly, translators who lived in countries of both cultures for many years are expected to have developed a sense and understanding of how best to depict and transfer what is said in one language to the other without anything being lost in translation, whether the original meaning, its tone, connotation, purport or style.

Not only that, but once our translations have been completed, they move on to the next layer of scrutiny, again by native speaker reviewers. This is to ensure that the translated text produced is indeed in the best possible shape.

Idiomatic Arabic to English translation

Many translators face genuine trouble when they are handling a piece of translation from Arabic to English that includes words and language that is highly metaphorical or very connected and linked specifically to the Arabic culture. 

It is very often the case in writings by well-known and intellectual Arab writers, for instance, that they use language with references either to specific situations or parables, popular sayings, Koranic verses, or even phrases from Arabic poetry and literary works. 

That causes the Arabic to English translator a serious problem, because it is one of the hardest things for any translator to ensure a balance between conveying the meaning in the original text in Arabic and ensuring that the translation in English is idiomatic enough for the target audience or readers, who are in this case English speakers. 

It becomes even harder when the language and words used in the Arabic text could convey a meaning that is directly opposite to, or contradictory with, the culture of the target reader. 

In some cases, the meaning can simply be completely vague and obscure to the English reader if translated with a lack of idiomaticness. 

For instance, take - in Arabic - the phrase “Ahl al-Hal wa al-Aqd”. 

A direct and literal translation of this phrase would be something like: “People who untie and tie”. Does that sound understandable to an English speaker? Or is it merely a puzzle that will keep the reader wondering what it means? 

A professional translator who would be keen on delivering an accurate, yet idiomatic, translation of this Arabic-language phrase into English would simply go for: 

“The movers and shakers”  

The original phrase in Arabic refers to people who have power or authority to make change, but the meaning is wrapped up in a metaphorical expression.

The one and only way to get an Arabic text translated idiomatically without any alteration of the original meaning is to get the translation done by expert and seasoned translators who are well versed in the nuances and subtilities of both the source and target language.
