01 / What’s different

Not a translation job

Search in another language is its own market: other words, other sources, other habits.

  1. 01Right to leftLayouts, menus, forms and numbers must work in RTL — not just mirrored text.
  2. 02Two languages, one searchMany Gulf buyers search in English and Arabic for the same thing. Both need pages.
  3. 03Spelling variantsOne word, several spellings — with or without hamza, ta marbuta or diacritics. Research groups them.
  4. 04Dialect in queriesPages are written in Modern Standard Arabic; searches often use dialect words.
  5. 05Fewer strong sourcesArabic sites with real editorial standards are fewer, so links and mentions take more care.

01Do you translate our English pages?

We localise: keyword research in Arabic first, then pages written or adapted by native freelance editors hired per market and checked against the brief.

02Should Arabic pages have Arabic URLs?

Either works if consistent. We choose per site, based on how links are shared and how your CMS encodes them.

03Do we need Arabic and English?

In the Gulf, usually yes — many buyers search in both.

04Do AI assistants answer in Arabic?

Yes. We track your visibility in Arabic answers as its own question set.
