Both English and Arabic are languages that are spoken widely. Then, you may need to translate English to Arabic writing PDF sometimes. This post from MiniTool PDF Editor shows you how to do that in 2 ways.

Why Do You Need to Translate English to Arabic Writing PDF?

Primarily due to the global influences of the former British Empire and the United States, English is the most spoken language in the world. It is also the third-most spoken native language and the most widely learned second language in the world.

Besides, the English language is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states, and a co-official language of the United Nations, the European Union, and many other international and regional organizations.

It is also the de facto lingua franca of diplomacy, science, technology, international trade, logistics, tourism, aviation, entertainment, and the Internet.

On the other hand, the PDF file format is a good electronic carrier for economic, political, and cultural exchanges, because it can present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

Therefore, we may need to translate English PDF to another language sometimes, including the Arabic language, which is the first language of around 292 million people. Since it is so widely spoken throughout the world, the language is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
