How these two languages compare, and what it means for your translations.
Arabic uses the Arabic script while German uses the Latin script. Arabic reads right-to-left while German reads left-to-right, so the direction of the text flips during translation. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
Arabic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic family while German belongs to the Indo-European family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones between these two.
Arabic follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while German follows subject-object-verb (SOV). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Longer sentences are more likely to shift meaning — splitting them up improves accuracy.
