Languages your customers in Saudi Arabia write in

Most Saudi customers write in Arabic, often in Gulf dialect, and some in English or Arabizi. Kiko answers in the language and style the customer uses.

  • Gulf Arabic

    “كم السعر؟ عندكم موعد بكرة؟” is understood as the everyday question it is, and the answer comes back in natural Arabic, right to left.

  • Arabizi

    Customers who write Arabic in Latin letters and numbers, like “3ndkom mw3d?”, are understood too.

  • English for expats and business clients

    Customers who write in English get English replies from the same knowledge.
