Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Arabic-speaking communities in the United States. Arabic now appears in nearly every part of the city’s economy: international trade and investment, entertainment, real estate, healthcare, universities and immigration law. When a contract, a medical record or a court filing has to be understood exactly, machine translation is not enough.
Languages Unlimited provides certified Arabic-to-English and English-to-Arabic translation, plus on-site, phone and video interpreting, for clients across Los Angeles and California.
What makes Arabic translation different
Arabic is not a single form of the language. Modern Standard Arabic (fuṣḥā) is used in official and written communication, while regional dialects are spoken across more than 20 countries, including Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Iraqi and Maghrebi Arabic.
A legal document for a Los Angeles court usually calls for formal Modern Standard Arabic. Marketing copy for a Gulf audience, or an interview with an Egyptian or Lebanese speaker, needs the right dialect and tone. Arabic also reads right to left, which affects the layout of forms, websites and subtitles. Our translators are native speakers who know which register each project needs.
