Choosing
Should you launch both languages together?
Launch both together when you need to serve customers in each language from the start. That means preparing and reviewing both sets of pages as part of the initial work. You can also launch in English first with the structure ready for Arabic. The first phase stays smaller, and we build the site ready for the second language.
You do not have to translate every section. A blog or careers page could stay in one language while your main service pages appear in both. The language switcher needs to account for those gaps, so a visitor does not follow it to an error page.
Choose the translation approach page by page. Professional translation suits customer-facing and legal text; machine translation with human review can suit older, lower-stakes blog content. Headlines and calls to action often need rewriting for Arabic readers, while specifications and policies need faithful translation. We can arrange a professional translator or work with yours, and your team approves the Arabic text before launch.
Market
What do website visitors in Oman expect?
Arabic is the official language, while English is widely spoken in business and higher education. For a company serving Arabic-speaking customers, that points to Arabic pages that read naturally and contact forms and confirmations that work in Arabic too. A visible language choice gives English readers a clear route through the site.
Your pages should fit the people you serve. Property developers and brokers need bilingual listings and enquiry forms; clinics need service information, doctor profiles and booking. Schools and training providers need admissions and course details for students and parents. Exporters need consistent product information across their languages, with a process for keeping it current.
Rules
What does an Oman project need to handle?
If you plan to send advertising or marketing material, Oman's personal data protection law requires written consent from the person receiving it. We set up a written consent field in the relevant form, so you can collect that permission as part of the website experience. Keep the marketing choice distinct in the form.
Processing sensitive personal data, including health or biometric data, requires a permit. This affects what a clinic or another organisation asks visitors to enter. We set up enquiry forms to avoid collecting those details until you have the required permit, and agree the form fields with you as part of the build.
How it runs
How your website project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 1h30m ahead, so the shared board gives you a place to review progress and leave feedback across the time difference.
- 01
Plan
We set up the translation, review and approval process with you. You identify the people who need to be involved, so pages have a clear route from draft to approval.
- 02
Design
We review key page templates in both directions with you. This exposes spacing and alignment issues in the mirrored layout while there is still room to refine the design.
- 03
Translate
English text is frozen page by page, translated and checked by a fluent reader in your business. Where the site uses a CMS, the checked text is then entered there alongside the build.
- 04
Build
We set the right-to-left direction on the HTML element of an Arabic page. That gives the page its base direction in the markup, instead of applying it through CSS.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These decisions help us shape the content and editing workflow around your business.
- Language coverageList the languages you need and whether each one covers the whole site or selected pages.
- Language planDecide which language is the default, who will translate and who will approve the text.
- TerminologyBring a glossary of agreed translations for product names, services and technical terms.
- Brand nameShare an Arabic logo if you have one and decide how your company name will appear in Arabic script.
- PublishingName the person who will add new content in each language after launch.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and time of the work?
The scope depends on the design, content and tools your site needs.
Right-to-left design
Arabic adds layout and front-end work because components need to be mirrored and tested.
Existing site structure
Adding a language to a single-language site can mean restructuring templates, URLs and the CMS.
Outside tools
A booking widget, map, chat tool or payment page without Arabic support can need an alternative or custom work.
Translation
Supplying approved text keeps the scope smaller; arranging professional translation and review adds work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid on a multilingual website
Pasting Arabic into an unchanged template
Design the layout for right-to-left reading, rather than placing translated text into a left-to-right page.
Putting text inside graphics
Keep banner text as live text where possible, so you do not need new artwork for each translation.
Linking language versions in one direction
Check that hreflang tags list each version and that the pages link back to one another.
Letting versions drift apart
Update translated pages when services or contact details change, so visitors do not see conflicting information.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Oman
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an Arabic website cost?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers are how many languages you need, how many pages each language covers, and the translation and review involved. Each language also brings testing and ongoing upkeep. We send you a free quote once the scope is agreed.
How will search engines find each language?
Each language needs its own URL and translated page titles and descriptions. We use hreflang tags to connect the versions and provide a sitemap listing the languages. Separate URLs also avoid relying on a visitor's cookies or browser settings to choose a language on a single address.
Can you add languages beyond Arabic and English?
Yes. We support other languages, including right-to-left languages such as Urdu. We also set up a process for translating, reviewing and approving content, so your team has a route for checking each version before it is published and for managing text across the languages you choose.
Will enquiry forms work properly in Arabic?
Yes. We set up bilingual enquiry forms, emails and confirmations. We also test mixed-direction text: an English brand name, price, email address or URL inside an Arabic sentence can appear in the wrong order unless the markup handles it. That check applies to the text visitors read and enter.
Who owns the website when it is finished?
You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. Those assets remain yours if you decide to make changes later or choose someone else to work on them. Your ownership covers the material on the site as well as the code used to build it.
How do we keep the languages useful after launch?
Give every content update a translation and checking step. Agree who will handle new pages and news, then check that the language versions stay in sync. You can also report on each language separately in analytics and Search Console to see which version brings enquiries and where more content is needed.
