Many UAE businesses meet clients who read Arabic, English, or move comfortably between the two depending on who they are speaking to. A printed card forces a choice: order it in one language, or pay for two separate print runs and hand out whichever one fits the moment. A MyInfo digital business card avoids that trade-off entirely — every field is free text, so one card can carry both languages and let each visitor read whichever one they are comfortable with.
Put both languages in your name, title and company
The Display name, Job title and Company fields on your card's Content tab accept any text (see edit your card details), so many bilingual professionals write both languages in the same field, separated by a slash or a line break — for example "Ahmed Al Mansoori | أحمد المنصوري" as the display name, or "Sales Manager | مدير المبيعات" as the job title. Arabic renders right-to-left correctly wherever you type it, sitting naturally alongside the Latin text around it.
Write a bio that works in both directions
Your About text takes the same approach: either a short English paragraph followed by its Arabic equivalent, or two matching sentences side by side. Keep both versions short and specific rather than a literal word-for-word translation — see write a bio that gets read for the general approach, then apply it twice, once per language.
Use text sections for the details that need more room
Free cards include one text section; Premium cards get up to three (see add a text section). With one section, many bilingual cards combine both languages under a single heading like "About us / نبذة عنا." With three, it is cleaner to give English and Arabic each their own section, plus a third for opening hours or services — see links, videos and text for how sections sit alongside your links.
Sharing stays the same in either language
A WhatsApp icon, QR code or NFC tap works identically no matter which language a visitor reads on the page behind it. Your card address (myinfo.ae/yourname) also stays in Latin characters even when the card itself is written mostly in Arabic, so it is just as easy to say out loud or type from a business card, badge or car sticker.
Where this matters most
Firms that regularly meet clients across both languages get the most from a bilingual card: lawyers and legal consultants, real estate agents, financial and insurance advisors and clinics all deal with clients who may prefer to read in Arabic even when the meeting itself happens in English, or the reverse. Create your card once and adjust each field until both languages read naturally.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need two separate cards, one in Arabic and one in English?
No. Because every field on a MyInfo card accepts free text, one card can hold both languages at once — in your name, job title, About text or a dedicated text section — rather than maintaining two cards with two addresses to keep in sync.
Will Arabic text display correctly for a visitor whose phone is set to English?
Yes. The text you type on your card displays exactly as typed, in the correct right-to-left direction for Arabic, regardless of the visitor's own phone or browser language setting.
