Choosing
Should you launch every language at once?
Launching all your languages together suits you when customers need each version from the start. A smaller first phase is to launch in English and add Arabic later. We prepare the structure for the second language from the outset, so you can add it without treating the whole site as a fresh build.
You also need to decide how much of the site to translate. A blog or careers section can stay in one language while your main pages appear in both. The language switcher should handle a missing translation without sending someone to an error page. For headlines and calls to action, allow for rewriting for Arabic readers; specifications and policies need faithful translation and review.
For the web addresses, language folders such as /en/ and /ar/ are the simplest to run on one domain. Subdomains or separate country domains take more setup, but suit a business with different regional offers, teams or legal entities. Choose the structure alongside the language plan, before pages are built.
Market
What do buyers in Bahrain expect?
Arabic is the official language, and English is widely used in business and higher education. Your language plan should give readers a clear route to the content they need in either language, with pages written and reviewed for their intended audience.
The pages to prioritise depend on what you offer. A property developer or broker needs bilingual listings, brochures and enquiry forms. A clinic needs service pages, doctor profiles and booking information patients can read in their own language. Schools and training providers need course details, admissions pages and application forms that work for students and parents.
Rules
What does a website project in Bahrain need to handle?
Enquiry forms collect personal data, so decide where their submissions and email notifications will go before we set them up. Bahrain’s Personal Data Protection Law restricts transfers out of the country unless the destination provides sufficient protection or an applicable exception applies, such as consent or permission. We set up bilingual forms, emails and confirmations around the agreed handling of enquiries; the destination for those submissions needs to be checked as part of that decision.
How it runs
How a multilingual website project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 2h30m ahead, so the shared board gives you a place to review decisions and leave feedback while work moves across that difference.
- 01
Agree the language plan
we establish the default language, the pages needed in each version, who will translate and who will approve the text. You identify the people who can make those decisions.
- 02
Set up the review workflow
we agree a straightforward route for translation, review and approval, so your team knows where text goes and who gives the final sign-off.
- 03
Prepare content alongside the build
English text is frozen page by page, translated and checked by a fluent reader in your business before it is entered into the CMS.
- 04
Test the experience
we check both languages on real phones, including text direction, line breaks, fonts, form validation, on-site search and the emails sent by forms.
- 05
Connect the language versions
each language has its own URL and a clear switcher on every page, giving visitors a visible way to move between versions.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Think about the scripts your readers use; Urdu, Persian and Hebrew also need right-to-left care and a font suited to each script.
- Your language listnote which languages need the full site and which need only selected pages.
- An Arabic reviewername a fluent reader who can approve service names and legal wording.
- A glossaryagree translations for product names, services and technical terms.
- A publisheridentify who will add new content in each language after launch.
- Other language needstell us if you want to support Urdu or another language alongside Arabic and English.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The existing site affects the work: adding a language to a site built for one can mean restructuring templates, URLs and the CMS.
Content that changes
multilingual catalogues, filters, search, PDFs and automated emails take more work than static pages.
Outside tools
booking widgets, maps, chat or payment pages without Arabic or right-to-left support need alternatives or custom work.
Translation approach
professional translation suits customer-facing and legal text; human-reviewed machine translation can suit lower-stakes material such as older posts.
Artwork
text baked into banners needs new artwork for each language. Keeping text live reduces that duplication.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid
A single URL for every language
give each page version its own URL instead of relying on cookies or browser settings to change the text.
One-way hreflang links
each language version should list itself and the other versions, with reciprocal links between the pages.
Automatic language redirects
use visible links to the other language versions instead of sending visitors away based on location or browser language.
Outdated Arabic pages
check translated service and contact details when the English version changes, so the information does not drift apart.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Bahrain
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an Arabic website cost?
There is no fixed price for this work. The main drivers are how many languages you need, how many pages each language covers, and who provides and approves the translations. Supplying approved text keeps the scope smaller; arranging professional translation and review adds work. We agree the scope with you before the project proceeds.
Can you provide Arabic translation?
Yes. We can arrange professional translation, or work with a translator you already use. Your team reviews and approves all Arabic text before launch, so choose someone who can make that decision for the business and give them access to the pages they need to check.
What makes an Arabic layout work?
The page direction needs to be set in the HTML, and mixed Arabic and English text needs careful testing. English names, email addresses and URLs within an Arabic sentence can appear in the wrong order without suitable markup. We account for those details in the page structure.
Will enquiry forms work in Arabic?
Yes. An Arabic form needs more than translated field labels: error messages, confirmation pages and automatic replies also need to work in the language. Validation needs to accept Arabic names and the digits customers actually type, so people can complete an enquiry without being blocked by the form.
Will I own the website?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. That gives you control over those assets after the project, including the material you have approved for each language. Keep a record of who in your organisation manages them so ownership stays clear.
How do we keep the languages up to date after launch?
Give every content update a translation step and agree who checks that the language versions stay in sync. We recommend reporting on each language separately in analytics and Search Console, so you can see which version brings enquiries and where you need more content.
