Translation is indispensable in culturally diverse communities like the UAE, where residents from various parts of the world constantly engage and interact.

Beyond everyday communication, legal proceedings demand precise and accurate translations to prevent costly mistakes. Errors in translation can not only disrupt legal processes but also result in flawed judgements based on misinterpreted or inaccurately translated information.

Non-Arab speaking UAE residents often seek translations for contracts, legal proceedings and court papers and the Ministry of Justice lists translators who can be contacted to offer this service.
