- Written by people, never AI
A bilingual book is not a translation stapled to an original. Each language has its own rhythm, idioms and expectations. We write both versions natively, with an English writer and an Arabic writer working from the same interviews and outline.
Bilingual books are often family projects: a grandparent’s life story that the grandchildren in London and the cousins in Amman can both read. They also work for businesses serving English and Arabic markets, and for children’s books that teach both languages side by side.
We handle the hard parts of layout too: mixing right-to-left and left-to-right text, choosing fonts that work in both scripts, and preparing print files that look right.
Who it is for.
- British Arab families preserving a family history
- Businesses serving UK and Arabic-speaking markets
- Parents wanting bilingual children’s books
- Authors reaching readers in both languages

Questions, answered.
Is this the same as translation?
No. Both texts are written natively from the same source material, so each reads naturally in its own language.
What layouts are possible?
Side-by-side pages, a flip book with one language from each cover, or two separate editions.
Can you publish bilingual books on Amazon?
Yes. We prepare files for KDP and advise on the best format for your readers.
