English to Arabic Translation
English to Arabic Translation in Pakistan
Translating into Arabic is a different job from translating out of it. The output has to be right-to-left, formatted the way the receiving office expects, and written in the formal register that official Arabic uses. Machine output is easy to spot and gets files returned.

What we translate into Arabic
Employment documents including CVs, experience letters, and service certificates for Gulf applications. Educational degrees, transcripts, and certificates where the receiving institution requires Arabic. Personal documents such as birth certificates, marriage records, and identity papers. Legal instruments including contracts, affidavits, and powers of attorney. Business documents including company profiles, commercial registrations, tenders, and correspondence.
What changes when the direction reverses
Layout is rebuilt rather than mirrored. Numbers, dates, and Latin-script reference codes stay left-to-right inside right-to-left text, which is where automated output usually breaks, producing reversed reference numbers or tables that read backwards.
Register matters as much as vocabulary. Official Arabic is markedly more formal than conversational Arabic, and a document written in the wrong register reads as unserious to the officer assessing it, even when every word is technically correct.
How the process runs
Send the English source as a clean scan or the original file if you have one, since working from an editable source produces better formatting than working from a photograph. Include any existing Arabic-language documents you hold so names and terminology stay consistent with your record. Tell us the destination country and authority. We confirm price and timeline, translate, proofread, and deliver by WhatsApp or email.
Turnaround and price
English to Arabic translation starts from Rs. 2,000, with legal documents from Rs. 3,000. Standard delivery at the normal rate, 24-hour urgent at 1.5x to 2x, same-day at 2x subject to availability. Formatting-heavy documents such as multi-column transcripts take longer than plain prose of the same length. Full rates are on the pricing page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does English to Arabic cost more than Arabic to English?
English to Arabic starts from Rs. 2,000 against Rs. 1,500 the other way. Producing correct formal Arabic takes longer than producing correct English, the right-to-left layout has to be rebuilt rather than copied, and mixed-direction content such as English names, Latin-script reference numbers, and tables inside Arabic text needs manual handling to avoid scrambling.
Which variety of Arabic do you write?
Modern Standard Arabic, which is the register used for official, legal, and academic documents across the Arab world. Dialect is not appropriate for document work. Where a Gulf authority uses specific administrative terminology, we follow that usage rather than a generic equivalent.
How are English names written in Arabic?
Transliterated to match any existing Arabic-language document you hold, such as a prior visa, iqama, or previously attested certificate. If you have one, send it, consistency with your existing records matters far more than a theoretically better spelling. Where there is no precedent, we use standard transliteration and flag the choice.
Will the layout match my original document?
As closely as the direction change allows. Tables, numbered clauses, headers, and signature blocks are rebuilt in right-to-left order so the document reads naturally in Arabic while remaining recognisable against the English source. Seals and stamps are described in position.
Do you translate company and marketing material as well as documents?
We handle business documents such as contracts, company profiles, tenders, and correspondence. Marketing copy that needs to persuade rather than record is localisation rather than translation, which is a different exercise with a different price, so tell us which you want.
