"Converting" a USD bond to an equivalent foreign bond?

Say if I have a corporate bond XYZ denominated in USD at USD LIBOR + 63 bps. How do I compare it to some foreign corporate bonds issued in UAE dirham (which is pegged with USD)?

Basically, how do I "translate" this XYZ bond into an equivalent bond denominated in AED? How will the process differ if I am converting it to a foreign bond in EURO (which is not pegged with USD)? What role do swaps play in the process, if they are ever needed?

I'm a novice in this field and would really appreciate anyone who can explain how these comparison and conversion are done. Thanks in advance for all the feedback!
