Professional Danish translation in Dubai and the UAE
Shipping, energy and personal documents
Danish companies have a long presence in shipping, energy and engineering, and much of the Danish work reaching us is commercial: contracts, technical documentation, certifications and corporate filings connected to that trade.
Alongside it sit the personal documents of Danes living in the Emirates — certificates, academic records and licences — which need certified Arabic translation before a UAE authority will accept them.
Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are close enough to be partly mutually intelligible. We still use Danish translators for Danish, because partly is not a standard an official document can be held to.
Language pairs we cover
Our most requested Danish pairs are:
- Danish to Arabic
- Arabic to Danish
- Danish to English
- English to Danish
Other pairs are available too — see all 120+ languages we translate.
About the language
North Germanic, and closer to its neighbours than it looks
Danish is a North Germanic language in the Indo-European family and the official language of Denmark. It is spoken mainly there and in parts of Germany, and recognised as a minority language in Norway, Sweden, the United States, Canada and Brazil.
There are around 6 million Danish speakers in the world, most of them in and around Denmark. Through historical ties and colonisation, roughly 15 to 20 per cent of Greenland’s population came to speak Danish, which gave the language a standing beyond its size.
Its written form is close to Norwegian and, to a lesser extent, Swedish. Spoken Danish is another matter entirely, which is why interpreting and voice over need a Danish speaker without exception.

FAQ
Danish translation questions, answered
Do you provide certified Danish 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 Danish 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 Danish 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 Danish translators native speakers?
Yes. Danish 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 Danish interpreter as well?
Yes. We provide Danish 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.
