If any reasons are needed to explain why Arabic translation is on the ascent, it’s recent government data that was shared in June 2022. The stats revealed that business is booming between the UK and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman. As a result, Arabic is increasingly perceived as a key language for global business.
The government’s press release explained that, “Consumers in the Gulf have significant purchasing power and huge appetite for UK products and services. For example, Qatar is one of the richest economies in the world, ranking 9th globally with a GDP per capita of $53,804 (£41,912) in 2020.”
Unsurprisingly, Arabic translation and interpretation services are becoming highly sought after by UK businesses that are keen to tap in to this lucrative market. Now, it’s not unusual for Middle East businesspeople to have a high standard of spoken English and an understanding of the English language. But it’s foolhardy to make presumptions that can ultimately lead to confusion and poor outcomes.
It all comes down to forearming yourself with assets that your competitors might have overlooked.
How Arabic Translation and Interpretation Can Give Your Business the Winning Edge
Let’s take a closer look at how Arabic translation and interpretation can enhance your business performance and your reputation with Middle East markets –
- Arabic Translation – It’s impossible to do good business if your target Arabic audiences can’t understand your brochure, documentation and website. Throw in to the mix that Arab people are known for being polite and valuing courtesy. To this end, they’re less likely to pull you up if you aren’t making sense to them. And the adage about not having a second chance to make a first impression is especially acute.
- Arabic Interpreting – Are you visiting businesses in the Middle East? Or, are your Middle East clients or prospects visiting you in the UK? Either way, there’s nothing more uncomfortable than not being able to hold a half decent conversation. Enlisting a professional interpreter ensures this isn’t the case. Additionally, it appeals to the Middle East sense of propriety that you’ve thought about the potential language barrier and their needs.
