We have translated many ID cards, passports, birth certificates, and other documents from Arabic to English. Please be ready to provide the spellings of names that appear on your personal documents.

Translation of school websites, pamphlets, brochures, etc. for international applicants

Admissions offices in American universities might need their website, pamphlets, brochures, and other material translated into foreign languages for international candidates.

Academic advisors who wish to provide the information in various languages including Arabic can reach out to us. We can translate the content on your website and any other information you would like to provide to Arabic speaking visitors.

How is the translation executed?

Our Arabic translators who are experts in academic document translations often interpret the meaning of the words they are asked to translate. They examine the texts before translating the Arabic words into English. Since this language is written from right to left as opposed to English, which is read from left to right, the translator has to plan how to fit the translated content at the beginning of the translation process. Such factors are essential to the delivery of a translation that is easy to read and understand. Once the translation is ready, we will email you a copy to review. If the American school requires the translation to be forwarded to them directly you can provide their email address. Please email your documents to info@cacfti.com for a quote.
