Why Precision Matters
Technical documents are used on site, often by people reading in their second language. They have to be accurate first, then clear.
Safety data sheets follow the 16-section GHS format, with signal words, hazard statements and precautionary statements in set phrasing. Abu Dhabi’s Hazardous Materials Management Centre issued binding hazardous-materials guidelines in 2026 that cover labelling and SDS provision. We keep the GHS structure and phrasing; check the current language requirement with the authority for your product and emirate.
Under the Executive Regulations of the Consumer Protection Law (Cabinet Decision 66 of 2023), the invoice, warranty information and other mandatory labelling information must be in Arabic, with other languages allowed alongside. If you import appliances or equipment sold to consumers, the label text and warranty card are where translation usually starts.
Torque values, pressure ratings, tolerances and part numbers are copied, not translated, and checked against the source. Units stay as the manufacturer wrote them unless you ask us to convert them. A bar that becomes a psi, or a part number with a swapped digit, is a maintenance error waiting to happen.
If the O&M manual calls it an isolation valve and the method statement a shut-off valve, technicians assume two parts. We agree part names and key terms with your engineers before translation, then reuse the glossary across manuals, SOPs, method statements and later revisions.
Technical Documents We Translate
Arabic⇄English, and from Chinese, German, Italian, Korean, Turkish and other languages. For industrial zones and energy projects, see our KEZAD guide and oil and gas page.
Start-up and shutdown, maintenance schedules, troubleshooting tables and spare-parts lists for plant, MEP and building systems.
All 16 GHS sections, with hazard and precautionary statements in standard phrasing.
Sequence of works, equipment, permits, controls and responsibilities, for consultant approval or site teams.
HSE management plans, permit-to-work and lockout/tagout procedures, emergency response plans and toolbox talks.
Technical specifications, product datasheets and material submittals for tenders and consultant review.
Shop-floor procedures in plain Arabic or English, and in the languages your operators read.
Product label text, warranty terms and user instructions for goods sold in the UAE.
Factory test reports, calibration certificates and inspection reports, certified when an authority needs them.
How It Works
Send the source files (Word, InDesign, Excel or PDF), the target language, the deadline, and who will read or receive the translation.
We separate documents that need a certified stamp from those that need technical translation only, quote per page, and agree key terms with your technical lead.
We translate, then check values, units, warnings, part numbers and cross-references against the source.
Editable files in the original layout, with figures and tables in place, plus certified copies where an authority requires them. Long manuals can be delivered in agreed batches.

Excl. 5% VAT
We translate; we do not author SDS, classify substances or certify product compliance. Confirm regulatory requirements with the competent authority. Long manuals are quoted as a fixed price.
FAQ
It depends on the product, the emirate and the authority, and published guidance is not uniform. Abu Dhabi’s Hazardous Materials Management Centre issued binding guidelines in 2026 covering labelling and SDS provision, and a GCC GHS standard has been in draft. Check the current requirement with the authority handling your material; we translate the SDS in standard GHS phrasing either way.
For consumer goods, yes. The Executive Regulations of the Consumer Protection Law require the invoice, warranty information and other mandatory labelling information to be in Arabic, and other languages may be added. Specific product categories can have their own technical regulations, so check those too.
Usually not for internal use; manuals and SOPs need accurate technical translation. A certified translation matters when a document is formally submitted to a regulator, customs or a court. We tell you which of your files need certification when we quote, so you do not pay for stamps you do not need.
Arabic⇄English is AED 60 per 200-word page, excluding 5% VAT. Translations from Chinese, German, Italian and other languages are priced per our pricing page. Long manuals are quoted as a fixed price on their word count.
Yes. Chinese, German and other source texts are translated into Arabic by a technical translator. If an English version already exists, send it too; it helps with terminology.
Yes. Send editable source files where possible. We keep tables, callouts and figure labels in place, and for Arabic we handle right-to-left layout. Typesetting of complex InDesign files is quoted separately.
Yes. Method statements, risk assessments and material submittals are common requests from contractors whose subcontractors or suppliers write in another language. Tell us the submission deadline when you send them.
Part numbers, model codes and values are copied exactly and checked in review. Units stay as the manufacturer wrote them unless you ask us to add converted values.
Yes. Toolbox talks, site rules and emergency instructions are usually kept short for crews, and we use the same glossary as your manuals so a valve, a hazard or a warning has one name in every language. We translate into 50+ languages; rates are on our pricing page.
No. We translate the document you supply. Classification, SDS authoring and product conformity are for the manufacturer, your HSE adviser or a conformity body. We do flag anything in the source that looks inconsistent.
