DeepL expands language offering through addition of Arabic

DeepL Translator’s first language written and read right-to-left, the addition of Arabic opens translation access to over 400 million Arabic speakers worldwide

COLOGNE, GERMANY, January 25, 2024—Leading AI communications company, DeepL, has announced the official release of Arabic on its translation platform. The fifth most spoken language in the world, Arabic has been one of the most requested languages from DeepL's loyal users—and marks a significant technical milestone for the company as its first language that is written and read right-to-left.

While there are many spoken dialects across the Arab world, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), or Fus’ha, is the official written form of Arabic and is used in all official communication within governments, organizations, academia, literature, print and mass media, and law. With this new addition of Arabic, businesses and organizations whose primary language is Arabic can now translate their communications into 31 languages—and businesses looking to provide products and services to Arabic-speaking customers can now expand their enterprise abroad with the help of DeepL Translator.

The addition of Arabic extends DeepL’s reach to millions more businesses and individuals worldwide. As always, DeepL’s cutting neural network technology remains at the forefront of the AI field, delivering nuanced and natural-sounding translations in 32 languages.
