Answer
In addition to the English language, The Highway Code is currently available in Irish, Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Portuguese and Mandarin on NI Direct.
Whilst there are no plans to translate the Highway Code for Northern Ireland into Arabic at this time, the Google Translate service is now available. This allows users to translate NI Direct content to a different language (including Arabic) using the Google Translate web service: https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/translation-help
Please note that NI Direct has no control over the languages offered and cannot guarantee the quality and accuracy of translations produced by third party tools and services.
