How this translator works
This tool sends your English text to a translation service and returns the actual Arabic meaning, preserving line breaks and paragraphs where possible. It does not simply sound out English words in Arabic letters — typing "bis millah ir rahman ir rahim" is treated as English input and translated properly (to بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم), rather than copied through unchanged.
Looking to type Arabic yourself instead of translating into it? Try Arabic Writing Online, which includes a full Arabic keyboard and an Arabic diacritics toolbar for adding Harakat by hand.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real translator or just transliteration?
A real translator — it converts the meaning of your English text into Arabic, not just the sounds of English words spelled out in Arabic letters. If you type "bismillah ir rahman ir rahim", it's treated as English/Latin text and translated, not copied as-is.
Will the Arabic output include diacritics (Harakat)?
Usually not for everyday sentences — standard written Arabic, and most translation engines, omit vowel marks by default, the same way English doesn't mark stress. Well-known fixed phrases sometimes come back vocalized. If you need fully marked Arabic, add Harakat yourself with our Arabic Diacritics tool.
Is it free, and is there a limit?
Yes, it's free with no signup. There's a fair-use limit per minute to keep the service available for everyone, and very rarely the translation service may be temporarily busy — you'll see a clear message rather than a wrong or made-up translation.
Can I translate Arabic back to English?
Yes — use the swap button between the two boxes to reverse the direction.
