Hi there, my passport stamps are in Arabic & French. The French language format shows the ''Dates'' and shows the words of ''Entree'' (which means ENTRY) and "Sortie'' (which means EXIT) plus the word of ''Police along with the shorten Airport name''.
The only thing that's it's in Arabic & it's not in French is the country name, plus the full name of the airport.

Is it gonna be required during the citizenship interview for these stamps to be fully translated OR as long as it shows the ''dates'' the ''entry'' and ''exit'' words in French, then the rest is not that important?

Thank you!

There’s probably no absolute way to answer this ... I was at the interview today and my passport had some stamps from Asia and I wasn’t asked to provide any translation, but there’s a guy before me who was asked to come back with full translation of every page of his passport! So it all depends on the officer you are meeting I guess
 
I would probably translate them. They might not need it or ask for it, but I would rather be safe than sorry :)

I had to translate mine. I think the determining factor is if you're applying only a few days after or on the day that you're eligible or, you have made a apparent miscalculation. I did that, I forgot that my eligibility period included one trip that I left for. I only started counting days after I came back from that trip, so he asked to get the translation of the stamps to get the days I was out of the country exact.
