Arabic to English: Where to Look Closely

Arabic covers a formal standard and many spoken dialects. That matters more than anything else for the result.

Standard vs dialect
Modern Standard Arabic is recognised best; Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf and Maghrebi speech need more review
One setting
All varieties are transcribed under Arabic; there is no separate dialect option
Direction
The Arabic transcript reads right to left; the English beside it reads left to right
Names
Transliteration varies (Mohammed, Muhammad); set the spelling you use in My terms
Gender
Arabic marks “you” as masculine or feminine; English “you” loses that detail
Short vowels
The transcript is written without vowel marks, as Arabic usually is
Output
Arabic and English with the same timestamps, exported one language per file

Before You Upload Arabic Audio

Three things that change how much you will need to correct.

Dialect

Expect more fixes with strong dialect

Speech close to Modern Standard Arabic comes out cleanest. Plan time to review a strongly dialectal conversation.

Names

Add names and places to My terms

Names are where Arabic-to-English spelling varies most; a saved spelling keeps them identical throughout.

Subtitles

Check right-to-left export

If you export the Arabic as subtitles, preview them in your player: some players handle right-to-left text better than others.
