- The most common target language for Egyptian and Gulf businesses translating for international audiences, embassies, and global commercial partners
English is the default target language for Egyptian and Gulf businesses communicating with international partners, foreign embassies, and global regulators. Arabic-to-English certified translation is the most frequently requested service at our Cairo and Dubai offices — covering everything from birth certificates for US and UK visa applications to full commercial contracts for foreign investment deals. Unlike Arabic, English has no certification-specific dialect concern, but accuracy still varies: legal English, medical English, and technical English each use distinct vocabulary and sentence conventions that a general translator can easily get wrong, which is why subject-matter-matched translators matter even within a single language pair.
Certification note
US embassies, UK visa centers, and most Western immigration authorities require a signed translator's certification statement attached to the English translation, not just the translation itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an English translation need a certification statement?▾
Yes, for US embassies, UK visa centers, and most Western immigration authorities, the translated document must carry a signed translator's certification statement — the translation alone, without the statement, is typically not accepted.
