Our Arabic linguists
As well as being qualified and tested linguists all our Arabic translators and interpreters sign up to our code of conduct which governs expected quality levels and ensures confidentiality. In addition, our database keeps track of all their specialist areas so we can find exactly the right person for your assignment.
Arabic translation
For Arabic translations, Geo works with qualified, expert translators.
All our Arabic translators are professionals translating into their
mother tongue. Normally they will live in the country where the target
language is spoken so that they remain up to speed with the language
and culture. The only time this doesn’t work is if the translator
is required to have knowledge about a linguistic community outside
the target culture... for instance if our Arabic translator who is
based in the target country might not have the necessary understanding
or terminology to translate a document for the Arabic community in
the UK dealing with UK bodies and concepts..e.g. the Financial Ombudsman
or the NHS. In these instances Geo works with qualified Arabic translators
in the UK to use the correct, established terminology. See our translation
section for more information on Arabic translation or have a look
at our industries
section. If you need help with back translation from Arabic, then
we also have a great database of validated, high quality translators
to meet your needs.
Arabic interpreting
Geo has an extensive database of great people for Arabic interpreting.
Our Arabic interpreters are selected for their expertise, knowledge
of specialist areas, friendly professional attitude and consistently
good feedback. See our interpreting
section for more information on Arabic interpreting or have a
look at our industries
section.
Arabic typesetting
Typesetting in different languages can be tricky if you don’t
know what you’re doing. Hyphenation rules change. Fonts sometimes
aren’t supported in some design packages. Some languages read
left to right (like English), others (like Arabic) read right to left.
Arabic is no different, but you can rest assured that we can help
you. See our typesetting
section for more information on Arabic typesetting or have a look
at our industries
section.
Arabic media services
Geo can even offer Arabic voice-overs, Arabic dubbing, Arabic audio
and video recording s and Arabic subtitling. See our media
services section for more information or have a look at our industries
section.
