Sim Trans provides proofreading services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the Emirates for law firms, compliance teams, hospital administrators, universities, and government suppliers who need a document to be right the first time it is seen. Our proofreaders correct grammar, punctuation, terminology, and formatting. Where a text has been translated, they read it against its Arabic or English source rather than reading the English alone.
That second point is what separates a UAE proofreader from a general editing desk overseas. Someone working from London will fix a comma splice. They will not notice that the applicant’s name is spelled one way on the Emirates ID and another way in the contract, or that a company name changes form between the Arabic and English columns of the same agreement. Those are the errors that cost a submission date.
Sim Trans works as a proofreading agency rather than a general editing desk. English proofreading is handled by native English speakers, Arabic by native Arabic speakers, and bilingual files are checked in both directions by a linguist who reads the source and the target side by side. Documents are matched to a proofreader who has worked on that kind of text before, so a construction arbitration bundle and a biomedical dissertation do not land with the same person. Professional proofreading services only earn their fee when the reader knows the subject well enough to spot a term that is technically a word but wrong in context.
Sim Trans offers proofreading and editing services across legal, corporate, academic, and public-facing documents, in Arabic, English, and 750+ language pairs. Each service below is built for a different kind of document and a different reader on the other end. Pick the one that fits, or send the file and a coordinator will tell you what it needs.
Your English text read against its Arabic source, or the reverse. We check meaning, numbers, dates, names, and defined terms across both columns of a bilingual contract or filing. Proofreading and editing carried out by a linguist who can read both versions, not one.
A translation done by another provider, an in-house bilingual colleague, or a machine engine, checked line by line before you rely on it. If the corrected file then needs an official stamp, it moves straight into our certified translation services workflow without changing supplier.
Pleadings, witness statements, arbitration submissions, contracts, and shareholder agreements prepared for the UAE Courts, DIFC, and ADGM. Defined terms are checked for consistency across the whole document, and clause cross-references are checked against the clauses they point to. For documents needing a sworn stamp, see our certified legal translation workflow.
Certificates and personal documents checked against the passport and Emirates ID before they go for attestation. A name transliterated two different ways or a date written in the wrong order is enough for a file to come back. Read how the process works on our MOFA attestation page.
Academic proofreading services for master’s theses, PhD dissertations, journal articles, conference papers, research proposals, and literature reviews. Our academic editing services cover language, consistency, and reference formatting in APA, Harvard, Chicago, or a journal’s own house style. Research paper editing services and paper editing services are available for single chapters as well as full submissions.
Copy editing services for tender responses, employee handbooks, compliance manuals, board papers, press releases, brochures, and website copy. An English editing service that tightens sentences and fixes inconsistencies in text you already have. We do not rewrite your message or write new copy, we make what you wrote read the way you intended.
Proofreading online for clients outside Dubai and Abu Dhabi or working to a deadline after hours. Send the file by email or WhatsApp, receive the corrected version with changes tracked so you can see every edit before accepting it.
One typo. One resubmission. One missed filing date
Sim Trans returns short documents in under an hour and larger files within one working day. Proofreading services Dubai and Abu Dhabi clients use when the deadline will not move.
Most proofreaders read the target text alone and correct what looks wrong in it. We read the source alongside it. A sentence can be perfectly correct English and still say something the Arabic original did not, and only a bilingual check catches that. This matters most in contracts, court submissions, and any document where the Arabic version governs.
A pharmaceutical policy, a construction claim, and an engineering dissertation each go to someone who has handled that material before. Subject knowledge is what allows a proofreader to question a term rather than accept it because the spelling is fine.
Our workflow follows ISO 17100 revision practice, which means a second linguist reviews the file before it is returned to you. Sim Trans is not ISO certified and does not claim to be. We apply the standard because it produces better work, not because a badge requires it.
Short documents come back in under an hour. Larger volumes are returned within one working day, with the delivery window agreed at the quote stage so you can plan the filing around it. Urgent court and tender deadlines are handled the same day across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Arbitration bundles, unpublished research, pre-announcement corporate material, and patient-facing documents are handled under restricted access, with an NDA signed on request before the file is sent.
The cost of a missed error is rarely the error itself. It is the resubmission, the registry query, the supervisor sending the chapter back, the tender scored down for inconsistency. Sim Trans works as a proofreading company that understands what happens to your document after it leaves you, which is why our proofreaders check names against identity documents, terms against the rest of the file, and translations against their source. One coordinator handles the job from quote to delivery, and if the corrected file then needs certification or attestation, the same team carries it forward.

Proofreading is the correction of an existing text for grammar, punctuation, terminology, consistency, and formatting. Translation produces a new text in another language. Sim Trans proofreads documents you already have, in Arabic, English, and 750+ language pairs, including files translated by another provider.
Proofreading corrects errors in a finished text. Editing goes further, reworking sentences for clarity, flow, and structure. Sim Trans offers proofreading and editing together, so a document can receive a light correction pass or a fuller revision depending on the state it arrives in.
Yes. We review translations produced by other agencies, in-house bilingual staff, or machine engines, reading the translation against its source. If corrections are needed for an official submission, the file can then be certified through our sworn translators without moving to another supplier.
Proofreading services rates depend on word count, language, whether a bilingual check against a source is required, and how fast you need it back. A single English chapter costs less than a bilingual contract checked in both directions. Sim Trans quotes a fixed price after reviewing the file.
A proofreading services review that compares price alone tells you very little. Ask whether the proofreader is a native speaker of your document’s language, whether they check the translation against its source, and whether a second linguist reviews the file. The best proofreading services answer all three plainly.
Yes. Academic proofreading is available for master’s theses, PhD dissertations, journal articles, conference papers, and research proposals at universities across the UAE. We correct language and formatting and align references to APA, Harvard, Chicago, or your journal’s house style. We do not write or change your argument.
Yes. Our proofreading website accepts files by upload, email, or WhatsApp, and the corrected version is returned the same way. Clients who search for a proof reading website or an English proofreading service usually need remote delivery, and every document type we handle is available that way.
Short documents are returned in under an hour. Larger files, full dissertations, and multi-document bundles are returned within one working day, with the exact window confirmed when you accept the quote. Same-day handling is available across Dubai and Abu Dhabi for court and tender deadlines.
Proofreading is not itself an accredited step, and no UAE authority certifies proofreaders. What it does is remove the errors that cause rejection, such as a name spelled differently to the Emirates ID. Where a submission requires certification, an MoJ sworn translator stamps the corrected document afterwards.
