Professional Czech translation in Dubai and the UAE
Personal and commercial, in both directions
Czech documents reach us for the usual two reasons: people relocating between the Czech Republic and the Emirates, and businesses trading between them. Certificates, academic records and licences make up the first; contracts, technical specifications and corporate filings the second.
For use in the UAE, a Czech document needs certified Arabic translation before an authority will accept it. Going the other way, a UAE document usually needs Czech or English with the certification the Czech authority requires.
We assign Czech work to native Czech translators. Czech, Slovak and Polish are close enough that speakers of one can largely follow another, which is exactly why using the wrong one produces a translation that reads as almost right.
Language pairs we cover
Our most requested Czech pairs are:
- Czech to Arabic
- Arabic to Czech
- Czech to English
- English to Czech
Other pairs are available too — see all 120+ languages we translate.
About the language
Close to Slovak, but not the same
Czech is one of the official languages of the European Union. It belongs to the West Slavic branch of the Indo-European family, is written in the Latin script, and relates to Slovak, Silesian and Polish to varying degrees. It has a reputation for being difficult, which its case system and consonant clusters earn.
It is the official language of the Czech Republic and recognised across Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia, and it is spoken as a minority language in Slovakia, Austria, Bosnia, Poland and Romania.
With around 10.6 million native speakers, Czech is a significant European language, and its closeness to Slovak is a practical trap rather than a convenience when it comes to translation.

FAQ
Czech translation questions, answered
Can a Slovak translator handle my Czech document?
We would not do it that way. Czech and Slovak speakers understand each other easily, which makes it tempting, but the result reads as almost-right to a native reader and that is exactly what an official notices. Czech work goes to Czech translators.
Do you provide certified Czech translation in Dubai?
Yes. Where the document is going to a UAE court, ministry or government department, we provide a Ministry of Justice certified translation, stamped and signed by a licensed translator. For universities, employers, banks and embassies, a certified translation on our company letterhead is normally what is required. Tell us the destination and we will issue the right one.
How long does a Czech translation take?
Short documents such as a certificate are typically ready in about four hours when we receive them during office hours, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Longer documents and rarer subject areas are usually returned within 24 to 48 hours. We confirm the timeline with your quote.
How much does Czech translation cost?
Price depends on the length of the document, the language pair, the subject and whether you need certification, notarisation or a hard copy. Send us a scan and you will get a fixed price rather than an estimate that moves later.
Are your Czech translators native speakers?
Yes. Czech work is done by native speakers of the target language who also have a background in the subject — legal, medical, technical or commercial — because terminology is where a fluent but non-specialist translation comes apart.
Do you need the original document?
A clear scan or photograph is enough for the translation itself. If the authority receiving it requires a stamped hard copy, we produce one for collection at our office on Sheikh Zayed Road or for courier.
Will names be spelled the way they are in my passport?
They will if you send us the passport spelling. Transliterating a name into or out of Arabic has more than one valid answer, and a translation that disagrees with the passport is the most common reason a document is sent back. Send both together and we match them exactly.
Can you provide a Czech interpreter as well?
Yes. We provide Czech interpreters for meetings, hearings, medical appointments and conferences, on site across the UAE or remotely. See interpretation services for the modes available.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Access is restricted, handling is secure, and your document is used only for your translation. An NDA is available on request, and it is signed as a matter of course for corporate and legal work.
