Arabic translation in Liège: community and demand
Liège's Arabic-speaking community is rooted primarily in Moroccan and Algerian immigration from the 1960s and 1970s, when workers arrived to work in the city's coal and steel industries. Today, the community is well established across Liège city and the broader Liège province, with significant concentrations in Seraing, Herstal and central Liège neighbourhoods.
Arabic is consistently one of the most requested languages at the Liège foreigners' office, Walloon municipalities and social services — for everything from civil status documents to healthcare records.
