This book addresses translation and interpreting with Arabic either as a source or target language. It focuses on new fields of study and professional practice, such as community translation and interpreting, and offers fresh insights into the relationship between culture, translation and interpreting. Chapters discuss issues relating specifically to Arabic and the Arab cultural context and contribute views, research findings and applications that come from a language combination and a cultural background quite different from traditional Eurocentric theoretical and professional positions. This volume is a significant addition to resources on Arabic translation and interpreting and contributes fresh perspectives to translation studies in general. It is of interest to students, researchers and professionals working in public service, community, legal, administrative and healthcare translation and interpreting, as well as intercultural communication and translator education.

Industry Reviews

This collection is circumspectly and creatively presented. It clearly discusses translation and interpreting in the Arab world at the practical and teaching levels, placing special emphasis on the professional and innovative teaching methods and resources emanating from real translation practices into Arabic; it provides a new look at how research on Arabic translation and interpreting is inextricably tied up with how the Arab and Western cultures deal and shape one another.
