Academic research translation for students, faculty and research teams in the UAE: theses, dissertations, journal articles, research proposals, abstracts, conference papers and ethics-committee documents, translated between Arabic and English with consistent terminology and careful handling of quotations and references.

Why Researchers Use Us
Examiners, reviewers and editors read for precision. A translated paper has to carry the same argument, the same defined terms and the same evidence trail as the original.
Many concepts have several Arabic renderings, and each discipline settles on its own. Before we translate, we agree a glossary with you of key constructs, variables and technical terms, using the Arabic or English your field’s literature already uses. Where a term has no settled equivalent, we keep the original in brackets on first use.
A direct quotation from a published source should not be silently re-translated as if it were your words. If a published translation exists, cite it; if not, mark the translation as yours. Reference lists usually stay in the language of the source, with a translated title in brackets where your style guide asks for one. We follow the style guide you name.
Universities and journals generally treat translating someone else’s text without attribution as plagiarism, and similarity checks may still match translated wording to its source. Translating your own published work raises a different issue: duplicate publication. Editorial guidance such as the ICMJE recommendations allows a translated secondary publication only with both editors’ approval and a citation to the original.
Draft findings, datasets and grant proposals are valuable before publication, so raise confidentiality at the start rather than after the files are sent. Tell us when a document contains unpublished or sensitive information, and we will discuss your confidentiality requirements, including any NDA you need, before you send it.
Research Writing We Translate
Arabic⇄English as standard, other languages on request. Transcription and translation of recorded interviews is also available on request.
Full theses or single chapters, with headings, numbering, tables and figure captions kept in your university template.
Arabic or English abstracts and extended summaries, where many universities in the region ask for both languages. Check your graduate studies office.
Manuscripts prepared for submission, translated in the register and structure your target journal expects.
Proposals, aims, methodology sections and budget justifications for supervisors, committees and funders.
Participant information sheets, consent forms, questionnaires and approval letters, in plain Arabic participants can understand.
Scales and survey items translated for meaning, ready for your back-translation or pilot testing if your method requires it.
Papers, posters and slide decks for conferences, often on short deadlines before submission closes.
Edited-volume chapters and long literature reviews, with quotations and references treated consistently.
How It Works
Send the Word file, the target (university, journal or conference), the style guide and any key papers in your field. We quote per page before starting.
We list key terms with proposed renderings and you confirm or correct them, so the translation uses your field’s vocabulary.
A translator translates, and figures, tables, quotations and cross-references are checked against the source.
You receive an editable file in your template plus a short list of queries, such as ambiguous passages or quotations needing a published source.

FAQ
Arabic⇄English academic research translation is AED 60 per 200-word page, excluding 5% VAT. A full thesis is quoted on its word count. Send the file and we reply with the price and a delivery date.
If the paper is your original work and properly cited, translation itself is not plagiarism. Problems arise when translated passages from other authors appear without attribution, or when a translation of your own published paper is submitted as new work. Ask your supervisor or the journal how they treat translated text, and disclose any earlier publication.
Sometimes, but not as a new paper. Under editorial guidance such as the ICMJE recommendations, a translated secondary publication needs approval from the editors of both journals, must cite the original and should say in its title that it is a secondary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to two journals in different languages at once is not acceptable.
In-text citations keep the author and year format of your style guide. Reference entries usually stay in the source language, with a translated title in brackets if your guide requires it. Direct quotations use a published translation where one exists; otherwise we flag them so you can mark the translation as your own.
Many universities in the region ask for an abstract in both Arabic and English, but the rule is set by each university and programme. Check your graduate studies office or thesis guidelines. We translate abstracts on short deadlines.
Yes. Participant information sheets and consent forms need plain Arabic a participant can follow, without losing what the study involves. Some committees ask for a translation certificate or a back-translation; tell us what yours requires. Clinical trial files are covered in more depth in our clinical trial translation guide.
We translate faithfully and write clear, natural prose in the target language, but we do not change your argument, data or conclusions. If a passage is ambiguous, we ask rather than guess. If you have an existing translation you want checked, see our translation review service.
No. Acceptance depends on the research itself, the journal’s scope and peer review. We make sure the translation is accurate and readable so language is not the obstacle.
If the work is under review, embargoed or subject to your university's or funder's rules, say so when you first contact us and we will discuss those requirements, including any NDA. Every translation is produced and checked by a licensed human translator.
On request. Recorded interviews and focus groups can be transcribed with speaker labels and then translated, which suits qualitative studies. See our transcription and translation service.
