What the page rate covers

Pricing here is arithmetic, not a mystery. The rate is about £25 / page, and the page count comes from the sheets you hand over. That one figure buys the Arabic text and the signed statement of accuracy fixed to it. Nothing in the price shifts with how far the file has to travel, or with what it will later be used for.

What sits outside the rate

Some costs belong to other people. Southampton Register Office sets its own charge for a certified copy of a civil record, and that money goes out before any Arabic is typed. Notarisation is available as a separate step with a separate cost, if a reader on the far side wants it. An official Arabic translation in Southampton does not roll those into one bill.

Arabic, whatever the paper is

A certified translation in Southampton for United Arab Emirates is made into Arabic, because Arabic is the language the country works in. A degree, a marriage entry and a company letter all go the same way. What changes between them is length, and length is what the bill follows. Your English source is left exactly as issued and is not altered.

Whose name is on it

A certified Arabic translator signs the finished text and the statement attached to it. That signature is the accountable part: it names a person, a date, and the sheets that were worked on. Consulates and ministries take the file in this certified form. There is no extra stamp to buy on top of the page rate, and no separate fee for the signing.
