Arabic translation
Arabic translation services in Malaysia
Human translation by native-level linguists, with certification when you need it.
Demand for Arabic translation in Malaysia is driven by Gulf business ties, Islamic and religious documentation, and the steady flow of legal documents between Malaysia and GCC countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Translife provides Arabic translation between Arabic and English, and between Arabic and Bahasa Malaysia, for commercial, legal, certified, and religious needs from our Subang Jaya headquarters.
Every Arabic project is handled by a native-level linguist and checked by a second reviewer, so terminology and tone are correct and the right-to-left layout is preserved cleanly. Where a document must be submitted to a Malaysian authority, an embassy, or — very commonly for Arabic — attested for use in a GCC country, we issue a certified translation with our statement of accuracy, stamp, and signature, and arrange notarisation and Wisma Putra (MOFA) endorsement so the document is accepted abroad.
We have worked in Arabic since 2005 across 100+ languages, and our team understands what matters in practice: when a document needs Modern Standard Arabic versus a regional dialect, how Arabic personal and company names should be transliterated consistently, and the typesetting care that right-to-left script requires so the final document is not just accurate but correctly laid out.
Getting it right
What matters in Arabic translation
Right-to-left script & DTP
Arabic is written right-to-left, which affects layout, alignment, and how numbers, Latin terms, and bilingual content sit on the page. We handle the desktop publishing so certificates, contracts, and brochures read correctly and look professional, not just word-for-word converted.
Modern Standard Arabic vs dialects
Official, legal, and business documents use Modern Standard Arabic, while marketing or spoken content may call for a regional dialect such as Gulf Arabic. We confirm the right variety for your audience and purpose before we begin.
Certified & MOFA-attested Arabic translation
For certificates, contracts, court papers, and academic records, we provide certified Arabic ⇄ English or Arabic ⇄ Malay translation accepted by Malaysian authorities, with notarisation and Wisma Putra (MOFA) endorsement available — essential for documents used in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other GCC countries.
Name transliteration & consistency
Arabic names can be romanised in several ways, which causes problems across passports, certificates, and contracts. We agree a consistent transliteration and hold it in a translation memory across the whole document set and future projects.

Request a free quote for an exact price.
Do you translate Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect?
Official, legal, and business documents use Modern Standard Arabic. For marketing or spoken content we can work in a regional dialect such as Gulf Arabic. We confirm the right variety for your audience before starting.
How do you handle Arabic names on certificates?
Arabic names can be romanised in different ways, which causes mismatches across passports and certificates. We agree one consistent transliteration with you and apply it throughout the document set so the names match across every page.
