Professional Spanish translation in Dubai and the UAE
A world language, in a world city
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world and the official language of 21 countries, from Spain across Latin America. In a hub like Dubai, where people of many backgrounds meet and trade, that reach creates steady demand for accurate Spanish translation.
AGATO provides Spanish translation from and into many languages, so linguistic gaps are bridged whether you are a Spanish speaker settling in the UAE or a UAE business selling into Spanish-speaking markets.
Personal documents, contracts, marketing material and websites all come through in Spanish. Each is assigned to a translator with the right subject background and, where required, the certification the destination needs.
Language pairs we cover
Our most requested Spanish pairs are:
- Spanish to Arabic
- Arabic to Spanish
- Spanish to English
- English to Spanish
Other pairs are available too — see all 120+ languages we translate.
About the language
Not one Spanish, but several
Spanish is familiar to most people as the second most spoken language in the world, prominently used in Spain and across Latin America, among many other places. Its prominence is exactly why accurate Spanish translation matters in a global hub like Dubai.
For translation the important detail is that Spanish varies. Vocabulary, formality and even grammar differ between Spain and Latin America, and between Latin American countries. Copy written for Madrid can read oddly in Mexico City and vice versa.
For certified documents this rarely matters, because the standard written form is used. For marketing content, voice over and consumer-facing material, it matters a great deal, and we assign a translator from the target market.

FAQ
Spanish translation questions, answered
European or Latin American Spanish?
It depends on the audience. For a certified document the standard written form is used and the question does not arise. For marketing, web content or voice over it matters: vocabulary, formality and idiom differ between Spain and Latin America, and between Latin American countries. Tell us the market and we will match a translator from it.
Do you provide certified Spanish 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 Spanish 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 Spanish 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 Spanish translators native speakers?
Yes. Spanish 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 Spanish interpreter as well?
Yes. We provide Spanish 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.
