Copack’s financial feasibility report arrived as a scanned image: 58 landscape pages of tables, charts, and figures. We rebuilt the document rather than replicating its look — every table recreated from scratch, every numeric cell checked twice by two different reviewers, using a financial and economic glossary approved before work began and a closed handling process that respected the document’s classification. The client received a complete Arabic report that was editable and searchable, not another image.
Cairo Company for Packaging Materials Industry (Copack) is an industrial company operating in the packaging materials sector. When evaluating an investment decision of this scale, it isn’t enough for a company to simply understand the financial feasibility study prepared for it — it needs a reliable Arabic version its finance team can build a decision on with confidence, rather than re-verifying every figure themselves.
The company commissioned Fast Trans to translate a financial feasibility study prepared by a specialised international advisory firm. But the report didn’t arrive as an editable text file — it arrived as a scanned image: 58 landscape pages packed with tables, charts, and figures. That alone turned the project from an ordinary translation task into a full reconstruction task: there was no original text to copy from, and no ready-made table to translate inside — every element in the document had to start from a blank page.
Three Requirements Had to Be Met
01 The feasibility study was entirely tables and figures rather than narrative paragraphs and its source was an image, not digital text — meaning there was no original text that could be copied or automatically replicated. Every table and every number first had to be read off the image, then rebuilt from scratch in a new, editable Arabic file. | 02 The risk isn’t primarily linguistic a single slip in one numeric cell — a figure that turns from a 2 into a 7 because of poor scan quality, or a cell that shifts into the wrong column — means an investment decision will later be built on a wrong number. |
03 The document was classified as private and confidential so its handling process needed to be controlled just as tightly as the accuracy of the numbers themselves — copies moving between no more parties than the work strictly required. |
01 | Rebuilding every table and every chart from the image from scratch rather than merely replicating its appearance — because copying a table’s look without verifying every number inside it isn’t enough in a report a financial decision will be built on. |
02 | Checking every numeric cell in every table twice by two different reviewers working independently of each other, so that no number in the final document passes without two people confirming it, not one. |
03 | Building an approved financial and economic terminology glossary before work began so the entire team used the same financial term with the same meaning from the first page to the last. |
04 | Adopting a closed file-handling process that respected the document’s classification as private and confidential, so copies moved between no more parties than the work actually required. |
05 | A final review round with the client’s own finance team before the Arabic version was signed off as the final, reliable version. |
An Editable, Searchable Arabic Report — Not Another Image
The client received a complete Arabic report that matched the original table by table and figure by figure, delivered as an editable, searchable file rather than another image — letting their finance team work directly on it instead of retyping it from scratch.
58 landscape pages | 2x independent checks per number | 5 documented process steps |
“Firstly, thank you for the effort and professional work… and we reiterate our thanks for the professionalism and speed of delivery.”

If a financial report or feasibility study reaches you as a scanned image rather than a text file, the real challenge isn’t primarily linguistic — it’s a reconstruction and desktop-publishing challenge: can every table and every number come out exactly matching the original, without a figure changing because of poor scan quality or a copying error?
The practical difference here isn’t translation quality alone — it’s the shape of the file you end up with: an editable, searchable Arabic report your finance team can build a decision on directly, not another image you’d need to retype number by number before you could trust it.
The same lesson applies to any financial or technical document that arrives as an image rather than text: double-checking every number, an approved glossary before work starts, and a controlled handling process aren’t minor technical details — they’re what separates a file your finance department trusts on first read from one you have to re-verify yourself before building anything on it.
