What changes when English becomes Arabic
A right-to-left script with short vowels left out
Arabic is written from right to left, and most letters join to the next one. Short vowels are usually not written, so a word like كتب can be read in more than one way depending on context. This is why a Latin-letter pronunciation helps learners. Many countries write numbers with Eastern Arabic digits (١٢٣), while others use 0–9.
Arabic marks who you are talking to
English “you” has one form. Arabic uses أنتَ (anta) for a man and أنتِ (anti) for a woman, and adjectives and verbs agree: “Are you ready?” is هل أنت مستعد؟ to a man and هل أنت مستعدة؟ to a woman. If the English gives no clue, the result often defaults to the masculine form.
Why English-Arabic translation often drops “is”
In the present tense, Arabic usually has no word for “is” or “are”. “The house is big” becomes البيت كبير (al-bayt kabīr), literally “the house big”.
Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect?
Modern Standard Arabic is used for writing, news and formal texts, but everyday speech differs by region. “How are you?” is كيف حالك؟ in Modern Standard, إزيك؟ in Egyptian, كيفك؟ in Levantine and شلونك؟ in Iraqi Arabic.
How do I translate English to Arabic here?
Type, paste or dictate your English text, choose the Arabic variety and tone if you like, and start the translation. A second AI check then shows a “Meaning kept:” band. It is an estimate, so double-check names, numbers and negations.
Why does the Arabic change depending on whether I'm writing to a man or a woman?
Arabic marks gender in “you”, verbs and adjectives, while English usually does not. If your text doesn't make it clear, the translation may use the masculine form. Add a hint, such as the person's name, or adjust the ending yourself.
Which kind of Arabic will I get: Modern Standard or a dialect?
Modern Standard Arabic is the default and suits writing and formal texts. You can switch the output to Egyptian, Levantine or Iraqi Arabic when you want everyday, spoken-style wording.
How do I make the Arabic formal or casual?
Use the Tone selector. Pick “Formal (business email)” when you translate to Arabic for work, “Casual” for friends and family, or “Match the original”. “Show alternatives” gives 2–3 other phrasings in different registers.
Can I see how the Arabic is pronounced?
Yes. “Show pronunciation” adds an approximate Latin-letter transliteration under the result, and “Read aloud” plays the Arabic with a browser voice, or an AI voice if your browser has no Arabic voice.
Can I translate a long text or a whole document?
Each run takes up to 5,000 characters, so split longer texts into parts. You can open DOCX, ODT, RTF or TXT files; the text is placed in the editor, but formatting is not kept. PDFs are not supported, but photos and screenshots can be read with the «Photo / screenshot» button.
Is it safe to translate private messages or work emails?
Your text is sent to an AI model, translated, returned and then discarded. It is not stored and not used for training.
Can I translate Arabic back into English?
Yes. Click “Swap languages” to reverse the direction while keeping your text, which is handy for checking a reply you received in Arabic.
Can I translate a photo or have a spoken conversation?
You can translate a photo, but not hold a spoken conversation. Use the “Photo / screenshot” button to choose, take or paste an image; it is sent to be read and is not stored. A voice conversation mode is not available. You can use “Dictate” to speak your English and “Read aloud” to hear the Arabic result.
Can it translate into Iraqi Arabic?
Yes. Open Options and pick the Arabic variety — Iraqi, Levantine or Egyptian — instead of Modern Standard Arabic, then translate. The choice is remembered on your device.
