About This Service

TL;DR

A properly bilingual Arabic and English WordPress setup using WPML or Polylang: correct RTL layouts, translated menus and SEO-safe hreflang so your UAE site serves both halves of its audience. Configured by a vetted, admin-reviewed specialist on Nadbook - contact them directly on WhatsApp, phone, or email, with zero platform commission.

Bilingual Arabic + English WordPress Setup (WPML / Polylang) for UAE Websites

Serving the UAE market in one language means turning away half your audience. I make your existing WordPress site properly bilingual - Arabic and English side by side - starting with the decision most projects get wrong: choosing between WPML and Polylang based on your site's size, budget and editing workflow rather than habit. From there I build the Arabic side correctly: a dedicated RTL stylesheet, layout mirroring so columns, menus and sliders read right-to-left, and Arabic typography that actually suits WordPress - proper webfonts with tuned line-height instead of the cramped default rendering most themes ship with.

Beyond the visible pages, the whole stack gets translated: theme strings, plugin text, menus, widgets, footers and form labels - the details that make a 'translated' site feel half-finished when skipped. I configure hreflang pairs for every EN/AR page so Google indexes both versions cleanly, place a language switcher where visitors actually find it, and tune the multilingual plugin so it doesn't drag page speed down - a common WPML complaint that is almost always a configuration problem. You also get a simple workflow for translating future posts and pages, so the Arabic side never falls behind as your Dubai, Abu Dhabi or free-zone business publishes new content.

Where this fits among my other gigs: my WordPress build, plugin, maintenance, customization and speed gigs each do a different job on your site - this gig's sole job is the bilingual AR+EN structure itself. And it pairs with (but differs from) my Arabic SEO service: that gig optimizes how your Arabic pages rank; this gig builds the multilingual foundation those pages live on.

What's included

  • WPML vs Polylang consultation - The right plugin chosen for your site's scale, content volume and budget - then installed and configured.
  • RTL stylesheet & mirrored layout - Arabic pages flow right-to-left with mirrored columns, menus and sliders, not flipped-looking English templates.
  • Arabic typography done right - Quality Arabic webfonts loaded and tuned for headings and body text across the theme.
  • hreflang EN/AR pairs - Every translated page linked to its counterpart so Google serves the correct language in search results.
  • Theme, plugin, menu & widget translation - All interface strings localized - navigation, footers, sidebars, form labels and notices included.
  • Ongoing translation workflow - A documented routine plus a tuned setup that keeps the multilingual plugin from slowing the site.
