Arabic translation:إعلان تيك توك من نوع توبفيو
Explanation:
This is an ad format that is used, among others, by TikTok and it could be a registered trademark.
The other formats are:
Brand Takeover
In-Feed Ads
Branded Hashtag Challenge
Branded Effects

They are listed here

The page is offered in many languages but unfortunately Arabic is not among them, otherwise we could have used it.

Now the question is do we translate the word, transliterate it, or keep it in Latin script. Since the word is written in CamelCase that is a strong indication that it could be a trademark, and without an official Arabic translation, any suggestion will only exist in our text, and that is not a good thing for trademarks.

If we switch the website language in the link above, we see that the languages deal with localization in different ways. For example in French, German, Spanish and Turkish the word is kept as it is "TopView", and in Korean it is transliterated: 탑뷰 --> tabbyu

I think transliteration should be the way to go for Arabic too
