Choosing
Should you launch all languages at once?
Launch the languages together when you already serve customers in each language and need them to have access to the same information from the start. An English-first launch keeps the initial phase smaller, while the site structure allows for another language later. Your decision also affects which pages need translation and review before the first launch.
You do not have to translate every section. A blog or careers page, for example, could remain in one language while your main service pages are available in both. The switcher needs a clear destination when a translated page is missing, so a visitor does not end up on an error page. Decide which content your team will maintain as you choose the coverage.
The address structure is another choice. Language folders on one domain, such as /en/ and /ar/, are the simplest to run. Separate domains or subdomains suit organisations with different regional offers, teams or legal entities, though they add setup work. We will discuss those trade-offs with you as part of the agreed scope.
Market
What customers in Canada need from the site
The content your visitors need depends on what you offer. For property buyers and investors, bilingual listings, brochures and enquiry forms give people a way to review a property and ask about it in their preferred language. Clinics need service information, doctor profiles and booking that patients can use in either language.
Schools and training providers also need admissions information, course details and application forms that students and parents can use. If you want a .ca domain, eligibility is part of the domain decision: registrants must meet Canadian Presence Requirements. We plan the site address around the domain you are eligible to register.
Rules
What the build needs to handle in Canada
An enquiry form collects personal information, so its content and the privacy information around it need attention during the build. PIPEDA covers private-sector collection, use and disclosure in commercial activity; Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec have substantially similar private-sector privacy laws. We set up space for your privacy information alongside the enquiry form and include that content in the language plan, so visitors can understand it when they contact you.
How it runs
How a multilingual website project runs with us
We are a studio in India and work remotely with you over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. In winter, India is 9h ahead of Newfoundland and 12h30m ahead of British Columbia and Yukon. The shared board keeps decisions and feedback available across the time difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, audience and goals, then agree the scope with you. Tell us which pages need to support your customers first.
- 02
Design
We review key page templates in both directions with you. Arabic layouts expose spacing and alignment issues that are easy to miss in English alone.
- 03
Translate
Content moves alongside the build. English copy is frozen page by page, translated and checked by a fluent reader in your business before it enters the CMS.
- 04
Build
We give each language its own URL and put a visible language switcher on every page, so visitors can choose the version they need.
- 05
Test
We check both languages on real phones, including direction, line breaks, font loading, form validation, on-site search and the emails sent by forms. Your team reviews the content as part of that work.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
A few decisions and materials will make the first scope discussion more productive.
- List the languages you need and whether each should cover the whole site or selected pages.
- Name a fluent Arabic reviewer who can approve service names and legal wording.
- Share an Arabic logo if you have one, and decide how to write your company name in Arabic script.
- Identify who will publish new content in each language after launch.
- Flag headlines and calls to action that need rewriting, along with policies and specifications that need faithful translation.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The scope of the content and the work needed to support Arabic both affect the project.
Page and language coverage
Each language adds content to translate, review, test and maintain; a larger page list adds work across those activities.
Right-to-left design
Arabic needs layouts and components mirrored and tested, adding design and front-end work beyond another left-to-right language.
Existing site structure
Adding a language to a site built for one can require changes to templates, URLs and the CMS.
External tools
Booking widgets, maps, chat or payment pages may lack Arabic or right-to-left support, calling for an alternative or custom work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid
Pasting Arabic into an unchanged English template
Design the Arabic layout for right-to-left reading instead.
Putting words inside banner images
Keep text live where possible, so each language does not need separate artwork.
Linking language versions in only one direction with hreflang
Each version should list itself and the other versions, with links back between them.
Redirecting people automatically by browser language or location
Offer visible links to the other language versions and let visitors choose.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Canada
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much will an Arabic and multilingual website cost?
There is no fixed price. Translation arrangements affect the scope: supplying approved text keeps it smaller, while arranging professional translation and review adds work. The translated page titles and descriptions, hreflang setup and language sitemaps also form part of the work. We discuss those requirements with you before quoting.
Do you provide Arabic translation?
Yes. We can arrange professional translation or work with your own translator. Your team reviews and approves all Arabic text before launch, giving you control over the wording your customers see. You can nominate the person who knows your services and can make those content decisions for your business.
Can we start in English and add Arabic later?
Yes. We can build the site ready for a second language, so adding Arabic later is straightforward. That lets you begin with the English content you have ready while keeping Arabic in the site plan. You can then prepare and approve the Arabic copy for the later phase.
Can you support languages other than Arabic and English?
Yes. We support any language, including other right-to-left languages such as Urdu. Persian and Hebrew readers also need right-to-left care, with fonts chosen for each script. Tell us which audiences you serve so the language and typography choices can be included in the design work.
How do you handle English text inside an Arabic page?
We handle text direction in the page markup and test mixed-direction content. English brand names, email addresses and URLs inside an Arabic sentence can otherwise appear in the wrong order. Arabic also needs a suitable typeface, with enough size and line spacing to make the text comfortable to read.
What happens when we update the site after launch?
Each update needs a translation step. Agree who will translate new pages and news, and who will check that the language versions stay in sync. You can also review each language separately in analytics and Search Console to see which version brings enquiries and where you need more content.
