Professional Italian translation in Dubai and the UAE
Serving the Italian community in the Emirates
Research indicates around 10,000 Italians live in the UAE, the majority of them in Dubai and the rest largely in Abu Dhabi. Their certificates, contracts and records need translating into Arabic or English for official use here, and UAE documents need translating into Italian to be used at home.
AGATO offers Italian to Arabic, Arabic to Italian, Italian to English and English to Italian translation, with native Italian translators experienced in handling any document in either direction.
Italian is also the working language of much of the fashion, design, food and machinery trade that flows through Dubai, which brings us catalogues, specifications and commercial documentation alongside personal papers.
Language pairs we cover
Our most requested Italian pairs are:
- Italian to Arabic
- Arabic to Italian
- Italian to English
- English to Italian
Other pairs are available too — see all 120+ languages we translate.
About the language
A Romance language with a long reach
Italian belongs to the Romance family and is the official language of Italy, Switzerland, San Marino and Vatican City. With around 67 million native speakers it is among the most widely spoken languages in the world.
It is also, disproportionately, the language of specialised trades: fashion, furniture and industrial design, food, opera and precision machinery. Translating in those fields means knowing vocabulary that general dictionaries handle badly.
AGATO offers legal translation for all sorts of industries and document types, and Italian work is assigned to translators with the right subject background rather than to whoever is free.

FAQ
Italian translation questions, answered
Do you translate fashion, design and machinery documentation?
Yes, and it is a large part of our Italian work. Catalogues, technical specifications, material descriptions and trade documentation all use vocabulary that general translation handles poorly, so they are assigned to translators who know the sector.
Do you provide certified Italian 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 an Italian 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 Italian 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 Italian translators native speakers?
Yes. Italian 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 an Italian interpreter as well?
Yes. We provide Italian 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.
