Oriental carpet stores have been a traditional purview of persons of Persian and other Middle Eastern descent. I've had some luck in the past just phoning them at random and asking if anyone could assist with translation requirements like this.

However, Iranians speak and write differently, than Arabs, and I believe Arabic script also may differ geographically elsewhere across the Mid-East. Another problem is differences in Islamic calendar calculations if there's a date involved.

If the preceding suggestion fails you, a university in your area may have an Arabic department that could help.

Good luck,

Bill H.
