Dialect translator

One word — and you hear how it is said in Egypt, Syria, the UAE and seven more countries.

Nothing like this exists elsewhere. Ordinary translators only know 'Arabic in general' — the literary form nobody speaks day to day. We show living speech by country: the same word sounds different in Cairo and Dubai, and you get to hear it.

The video is coming soon — read the guide below for now

  1. 1Modes on the left. “By dialect” is the reason people come here: one word across every country at once.
  2. 2Type your word or phrase here — the direction is detected automatically.
  3. 3The dialect list. Open it and switch off the ones you don't need — all 19 are on by default.
  4. 4The “Translate” button.
  5. 5The studio: photo, voice and document. A lock means a paid plan is required.
This is the Translator page — the numbers show what is where.

How to translate

  1. Open "Translator" in the top menu.
  2. Type a word or phrase — for example, "how much is it".
  3. Pick the dialects you need (several at once is fine).
  4. Press "Translate".

You get cards: Arabic script with vowel marks, transcription with the stress marked, and an audio button — in a voice from that very country.

What else it does

Beyond words and phrases there is the "studio" with four modes:

  • Text — plain translation, as above.
  • Photo — snap a sign, a menu or a message and we break down what it says.
  • Voice — say a phrase, get a translation.
  • Document — upload a file and work through it.

Photo comes with the Standard plan; voice and documents with Max.

Which dialect to pick

Go by the country you need:

  • Egyptian — the most widely understood across the Arab world: films, songs, music.
  • Gulf (UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait) — if you work or live there.
  • Levantine (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine) — soft and melodic.
  • MSA — news, books, official documents. Nobody speaks it at home.

Not sure? Start with Egyptian, it travels everywhere.
