Flying Since 2021 — Our Story
From Abu Dhabi to the world: a translation agency built on aviation expertise, linguistic precision, and a genuine passion for Arabic content that connects cultures.
Precision in Every Word We Carry
On Board Translation was established in 2021 in Abu Dhabi — the first translation agency in the region to specialize in travel, tourism, and in-flight entertainment content. We combine cutting-edge technology with native-speaker expertise to deliver translation, localization, and Arabic content creation services that truly resonate.
Our team operates at the intersection of language, culture, and aviation — uniquely positioned to serve airlines, global media platforms, luxury brands, and government entities with equal excellence. We leverage SDL Trados and Translation Memory technology to ensure consistency across every project, while our rigorous QA process means every word is checked before it departs.
The Founder's Voice
Language is not just communication — it is identity. My years managing Arabic content at Etihad Airways showed me that quality translation is the bridge between brands and the hearts of their audiences. On Board Translation was born from a conviction: that Arabic content deserves to be created and translated with the same passion, creativity, and cultural depth with which it will be received.
