We congratulate Arabize Localization Services in Egypt for obtaining the European Norm EN 15038

In demonstration of its continuous improvement and adherence to quality results, Arabize has achieved the EN-15038 European Quality Standard for Translation Services certificate in 2009 from the European Committee for Standardization. Unlike the general ISO 9001:2000 standard, the EN-15038 standard is exclusive to translation. It has specific directives defining the quality requirements for translation and localization providers. It covers all the stages of the localization process, starting from the project management and translation stages, up to the publication and quality control stages. The EN-15038 standardizes the procedures of each stage to ensure the highest level of quality and client satisfaction. Additionally, this European Quality Standard sets the qualification requirements for the human resources working in the localization field. Arabize has successfully passed the EN-15038 audit and became the first localization company in the Middle East to obtain both the ISO 9001:2000 and the EN-15038 certificates.

Arabize was founded in 1994 as an independent privately held localization company located in Egypt. The company was created since a felt need arose in the market for an Arabic localization provider. Today, Arabize offers a full range of professional localization and content services, from simple text translation to complete solutions of complicated long-term projects including: engineering, digitization, terminology management, linguistic QA, functional testing, desktop publishing, content preparation and development, and portal management. Applying the highest levels of quality standards in all the stages of work, Arabize achieved the official ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2005.
