About translating contracts

OnlineTranslation.ae is an independent service partner. Arabic–English legal translation is performed by MOJ-licensed legal translator Mohamed Khalid (personal MOJ Licence #688, valid until 8 March 2029; Al Qemma Legal Translation). The licence is held by the translator, not by OnlineTranslation.ae. We work with partners including Arkan Legal Translation and

MOJ Licensed Legal Translator Mohamed Khalid (MOJ Licence #688) — Al Qemma Legal Translation (DED Licence 876257)

Contracts usually need translating because the two sides do not share a language. A UAE company signs with a supplier abroad, an employer hands a new hire a contract in Arabic, or a buyer overseas wants to read a sale agreement before signing it. A translation lets each side read exactly what the other side wrote.

Many contracts also have to be filed somewhere. Courts in the UAE work in Arabic, so an English agreement relied on in a claim usually goes in with an Arabic translation, and banks, partners and authorities abroad often ask for an English version of an Arabic contract. Tell us where the translation is going so we can set it out for that reader.

A translation records what the contract says. It does not make the contract valid or binding, change its legal effect or decide which language version prevails. Many bilingual contracts have a clause that settles which version governs, and we translate that clause like any other. We do not give legal advice on the terms: if you need to know what a clause means for you, speak to a lawyer.

What a contract looks like on paper

  • The first page names the agreement, its date and place, and the parties with their registered addresses, licence or registration numbers and the people signing for them.
  • Recitals or a preamble explain the background, followed by a definitions clause that fixes the meaning of key terms used throughout the document.
  • The main clauses cover the scope of work or goods, price and payment, term and termination, liability, confidentiality, governing law and where disputes are heard, often numbered to three levels.
  • Schedules and annexes add price lists, specifications, job descriptions or payment plans, and the last page carries the signatures, company stamps and sometimes witnesses.

What to send

  • The complete contract, including every schedule, annex and amendment, as a PDF or clear scans.
  • Whether it is the signed copy or a draft. If the draft may still change, tell us before we start.
  • If the contract is already bilingual and you need only part of it translated, tell us which part.
  • Where the translation is going, for example a court, a bank, a free zone authority, an embassy or the other party.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our translation services.

How much does it cost to translate a contract?

We do not publish a fixed price here, because one order is a two-page employment contract and the next is a sixty-page distribution agreement with schedules, and we would rather confirm an honest figure for your own file. Send the contract on WhatsApp. A real person on our team replies on WhatsApp within 1 to 3 minutes and then confirms the exact price for your file before you pay. The page count is agreed with you first.

Does the translation make the contract legally valid?

No. A translation shows in another language what the contract says. It does not make the contract valid or binding, change its legal effect, or replace any signing, registration or notarisation the contract may need. We do not give legal advice on the contract terms.

Which kinds of contract do you translate?

Commercial, supply and distribution agreements, service and consultancy contracts, employment contracts and offer letters, sale and purchase agreements, partnership and shareholder agreements, non-disclosure agreements and memoranda of understanding. Tenancy contracts and powers of attorney have their own pages, listed under Related Services.

Can you translate a draft before we sign?

Yes. You can send a draft so both sides can read it before signing. If the draft changes afterwards, send the new version and we confirm on WhatsApp which parts need translating again.

Will the court, bank or authority accept the translation?

The court, bank, authority or company receiving the translation decides whether to accept it and what else it needs with it. We translate what the contract says. We do not draft, negotiate or register contracts, and we do not give legal advice.
