In simple terms, yes. "Allah" is the Arabic word for "God". In Arabic translations of The Bible, the word "Allah" appears where "God" appears in English translations. English translations of the Qur'an translate "Allah" with "God".

Allah is the Proper Noun of Almighty God. It should not be translated in other languages. As we don't translate Personal Proper Nouns. Aslam remains Aslam in all languages. M. M. Pickthal and many other translators of the Qur'an don't translate it as God, though it means the same.

What is the translation for God of the Bible in Arabic... I mean is God of the Christians translated as Allah when people translate the Bible to Arabic language?

Generally, yes. "Allah" is a contraction of the Arabic words, "al- Ilah," meaning "the God." The use of the definite article (the) is common in Arabic. Christian Arabs say "Allah" and mean God. Of course, just using the same word doesn't mean there is common understanding. The Hindi/Urdu word for God is "Ram," but the personality of Ram is not that of the God of the Bible. The Lakota name Wakan Tanka is sometimes translated as "God," but this doesn't imply the same understanding either.
