Significance of Middle East Market

Middle-East markets don’t need any elaboration to business people with a vision of expansion. Middle East market offers easy access to African and European market and connects them with South Asian market. Their well-developed infrastructure and high-end seaports provide easy shipment options to business houses connecting different continents through sea routes.

Oil and natural gas reserves stand at the top of the list. These factors are making middle-east essential for world trade. It acts as a multiplier for the wealth creation in the region. So capturing the middle-eastern market is always on the expansion list for any brand or business.

Let us discuss the digital world or digital market. In the pandemic era when more businesses are going digital, Middle East is already an established base with internet penetration of more than 70% of its population. Credit goes to the ease of internet access to middle-east residents and the farsightedness of their governors. Middle East government encourages internet usage and online shopping, and they also ensure infrastructure to facilitate Foreign Direct Investment. This makes it an ideal situation for any business to expand its horizons here to capture both the digital and physical market. But as businesses expand across borders, the need for quality business translation services is inevitable.

Looking at the demographics of the Middle East population, it is the country with a maximum of young people, and average youngsters are millennials and are keen on shopping luxury brands. The ratio of preference on luxury brand shopping is higher in the Middle East than in European or American countries. Increased internet penetration, elevated ratio of young population, and their keenness for online shopping increase social media usage in the Middle East.

All the above factors make professional Arabic localization services essential for any business in the Middle East. If we talk about language, Gulf countries have accepted English as the medium of communication only to integrate into the business world, but culturally they stick to Arabic. Any communication in the Middle East runs in English and Arabic simultaneously. In such a scenario, entrepreneurs must go for Arabic localization to connect with the local people and expand the customer base in Gulf countries.

Let us first have a look at the challenges faced in Arabic localization.

Challenges in Arabic Localization

The main challenge is the geographical diversities in Arabian states. The Middle East is a union of different provinces which follow various forms of Arabic language locally. This makes it difficult to localize the content in Arabic. Localization of the content for users of other provinces may be difficult in their local Arabic versions.

Anyhow the problems in Arabic localization do not stand in the way of its significance. The Middle East is undoubtedly a big market for all the tech players, tourist agencies, and the procurement market for oil and natural resources. This market calls for the localization of content to capture it. The only thing is it requires a professional approach and experience for quality Arabic localization.

A Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is used in a formal speech to overcome this problem and is not an everyday conversation language form.

Considerations in Arabic Localizations

 If you are looking for an expansion plan in the Middle East market, then Arabic localization of your apps and website content is the first step to connect with the core customers of the Middle East. There are few key considerations to be kept in mind while planning Arabic localization.

• Do not try to get in the zest of localization and stress localization for local provinces as we do in the case of website localization say website translation in French. MSA is the best option for Arabic localization considering wide variations in the Arabic version and acceptance of MSA on an elevated platform in the Middle East.
• If the localization of content is related to entertainment, then an attempt should be on localizing local Arabic versions. In content related to legal or education sectors, MSA is well accepted.
• Referring to the Arabic glossary is very important when translating a legal or scientific term as the Arabic language has its rich glossary for such words. The translator needs to apply his intelligence in deciding where the translation of terms should be in the Arabic lexicon or when he can use standard terms.
• The last key consideration is using a bit of expert advice. The Arabic localization is not a simple language translation. It has a very historical culture and rich local content. You need to hire experienced language service providers who have lived the culture of Arabs to understand their needs better.
