Arabic Transcription and Translation Services
Translate documents, transcribe recordings and adapt specialist content between Arabic and English through one managed service. Transcribe Lingo supports certified documents, audio and video transcription, localisation, subtitling and interpreting for legal, market research, business, medical and media projects.
Transcription, translation or both?
The right service depends on the source material and the final file you need. A recording may require Arabic transcription only, English translation only after transcription, or a bilingual transcript containing both languages.
- Transcription
- Spoken Arabic or English from an audio or video file is converted into an accurate written transcript in the same language.
- Translation
- Written content is translated from Arabic into English or from English into Arabic, with terminology, tone and context considered during the initial assessment.
- Transcription and translation
- The recording is transcribed first and then translated into the required target language. This is useful for interviews, research recordings, legal content, meetings and multimedia.
- Certified translation
- A translated document is supplied with the appropriate certification for its intended use. Tell the team which organisation or authority will receive it so the requirement can be checked before work begins.

Transcribe Lingo provides Arabic to English and English to Arabic document translation for personal, official and business material. Native-speaking linguists assess the context, style, specialist terminology and intended use before the project is assigned.
Certification is available for suitable documents. For an official submission, include the receiving organisation's instructions with your files so the required format can be reviewed before the translation is prepared.
Documents and content may include
- Birth certificates
- Legal contracts
- Technical manuals
- Marketing brochures
- Business documents
- Research material
- Medical content
- Website content
Send a clear copy of the complete document, including stamps, seals, handwritten notes and reverse pages where relevant.
A managed route from assessment to delivery
The original workflow is retained and expanded here so customers can see what happens before the final Arabic or English files are delivered.
-
Initial assessment
Native-speaking linguists review the language direction, content type, style, tone, context, technical language and required output. For recordings, provide the dialect or region when known.
-
Specialist assignment
The project is assigned to a native, sector-specific translator, transcriber or interpreter who understands the linguistic and cultural requirements of the subject matter.
-
Translation or transcription
The linguist completes the agreed deliverable, whether that is document translation, same-language transcription, translated transcription, localisation, subtitling or another Arabic-English service.
-
Review and delivery
The final draft is reviewed by the project manager. Once approved, the files are prepared in the agreed format and delivered through secure channels.
Language support matched to the subject matter
Arabic-English projects frequently depend on sector terminology as much as language fluency. Share the subject area at the quote stage so the project can be matched appropriately.
Legal
Contracts, legal documents, case material, interviews, discussions and content connected with international litigation.
Market research
Interviews, focus groups, research recordings, discussion guides, survey material and multilingual insight projects.
Media and gaming
Video translation, subtitling, voiceover content, scripts, game content and other material intended for Arabic-speaking audiences.
Medical and business
Medical content, technical documents, company communications, marketing material and other specialist professional files.
Arabic localisation for content that must work in context
Website localisation, video translation, subtitling, voiceover scripts and multicultural marketing require more than a word-for-word translation. Include the target audience, market, platform, format and any character or timing restrictions in the project brief.
What to send for an accurate quote
A complete brief helps the team identify the correct service, linguist, output format and delivery route before confirming the project.
Files can include documents, audio, video, transcripts, subtitle files, website copy or supporting reference material. Include any terminology lists, previous translations or formatting examples that must be followed.
- Required direction: Arabic to English or English to Arabic
- The document, audio, video or content files
- The service required: translation, transcription, interpreting or a combination
- Subject area and intended audience
- Arabic dialect or region, when relevant and known
- Intended use, receiving organisation or publication platform
- Preferred file format and layout requirements
- Deadline and whether an urgent option is required
Transcription creates written text from speech. Certification normally applies to a translated document. Tell the team when a translated transcript will be used for an official purpose so the complete requirement can be assessed.
