What to expect in Arabic
Arabic is written right to left. Dublio lays subtitles out the same way, so punctuation sits where an Arabic reader expects it. Numbers and Latin names inside a line still run left to right, and the layout handles that.
Arabic has one written standard and many spoken dialects. A lecture, a course or a news-style video usually fits Modern Standard Arabic. Casual content may sound stiff in it. Say which you want in the instructions, for example “Modern Standard Arabic” or a named dialect. Expect the standard form to be more predictable than a dialect, and read the script with that in mind.
Decide how numbers should look, Western digits (123) or Arabic-Indic digits (١٢٣), and say so in the instructions. Also check names of people and places in the script. A name that was heard wrongly in the English will be wrong in Arabic too, and unusual names are the likeliest to be pronounced oddly by the voice.
Checks before you voice it
- Names. Foreign names have several accepted spellings in Arabic. Choose yours, put it in the instructions and check it in every line where the name appears.
- Technical words. Arabic technical vocabulary differs between countries. Decide whether a term stays in English, is translated, or appears as both, and say so before the first translation.
- Vowel marks. Arabic is normally written without short-vowel marks. A rare word or a name can be read oddly by the voice. If one is, add the vowel marks to that word in the script and press play on the line to hear whether it helps.

Going the other way: Arabic into English
You can dub from Arabic into English as well. Choose Arabic as the language of the video, or leave the source on auto-detect. Arabic speech in a regional dialect, or with a lot of background noise, can make the first transcript rougher. Read the English lines before you voice them.
Questions about dubbing into Arabic
Can I choose Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect?
Yes, in the instructions. Write which one you want before the first translation, and translate the script again if you change your mind. Results for a dialect are less predictable than for the standard form.
Are Arabic subtitles laid out right to left?
Yes. Burned-in subtitles and the SRT file are laid out right to left, so the full stop and other punctuation land on the correct side.
Can I dub from Arabic into English?
Yes. Set the language of your video to Arabic, or leave it on auto-detect, and choose English as the language to dub into.
