Arabic desktop publishing
A page designed for English cannot simply be flipped. Our desktop publishing team mirrors the layout, resets the Arabic type and rebuilds every detail, and a native Arabic linguist checks every page, so the Arabic document matches the quality of the original.
What the service includes
Full layout mirroring
Reading order, margins, image placement, tables and callouts all move to serve right-to-left reading, while logos and photography stay the right way round.
Arabic typesetting
Proper fonts, correct letter shaping and clean justification. No broken script, no disconnected letters, no Latin punctuation stranded in Arabic lines.
Any source format
InDesign, Illustrator, Word, PowerPoint, Google formats and PDFs. If you only have a flat PDF, we rebuild the document from it.
Delivery for print and screen
Press-ready PDFs with correct bleeds, plus accessible screen PDFs and editable source files so your team owns the result.
Formats we work with
Using a different format? Send it anyway. If we cannot work with it, we will tell you and suggest an alternative.
Frequently asked questions
Anything else, send it with your files and we answer in the quote.
Can you take DTP-only work?
Yes. If your Arabic text is already signed off, send it over and we take the layout stage on its own.
Our brand fonts have no Arabic version. What now?
We recommend an Arabic companion face that matches your brand's weight and personality, and document it so every future document stays consistent.
Do you also certify documents?
No. For certified translations accepted by UK authorities, use Arabic Translation UK, the certified translation service of Lingo Service Translations.
