About the Egyptian Arabic language.
Egyptian Arabic, called Masri, is the everyday spoken language of Egypt. Thanks to Egyptian film, television and music, it is the most widely understood spoken Arabic across the Arab world, though it differs from the formal written language in vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.
Egyptian Arabic is mainly spoken, and when written informally it uses Arabic script. Official documents are written in Modern Standard Arabic, which our Arabic page covers; this page is for the spoken language. Egyptian official documents are issued in Modern Standard Arabic.
Egyptian Arabic matters most for spoken and informal work: interpreting for interviews, meetings and hearings, subtitles and voice-over for film and advertising, and marketing aimed at Egyptian or wider Arab audiences.
We translate and interpret in both directions. Egyptian names are often spelled in more than one way, so we keep them consistent with the passport or other documents you supply. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
