Translation services for Dubai
Dubai work is usually commercial, usually multilingual beyond Arabic and English, and usually needed sooner than the person commissioning it would like.
The typical Dubai brief is not a book. It is a company operating in several languages at once that needs marketing material, a product catalogue, or a video series to exist in Arabic and English — and increasingly in Spanish or French as well, because the audience is not only regional.
That shapes the work in two ways. First, consistency across formats matters more than literary polish: the phrase used in the brochure has to be the phrase used in the video subtitle and on the website, or the brand reads as three different companies. We build one glossary per client rather than per job, so the tenth piece matches the first.
Second, turnaround is usually the constraint. Rush is a named 48-hour option at a published surcharge rather than a favour to be negotiated, which means an urgent job has a price you can approve the same morning you discover it is urgent.
For agencies in Dubai commissioning on behalf of a client, we work white-label: the published rates are the starting point, the deliverables carry no branding of ours, and we are happy to be invisible.
Questions we get from here
Can you turn around a job in 48 hours?
For most volumes, yes, as the named rush option at the published surcharge. Very large books are the exception — tell us the extent and the deadline and we will say honestly whether it is possible.
Do you work with agencies white-label?
Yes. The deliverables carry no branding of ours and we do not contact your client. The published rates are the starting point and volume is discussed against them.
Can you do Arabic, English, and Spanish from one source?
Yes, and it is cheaper as one job than three, because the glossary and the terminology decisions are made once and applied to every language.
