Translating Arabic political text to English

Translating political text written in Arabic into English is in high demand. Multiple think-tanks, news organisations and businesses need - as part of their work - translate texts of political nature from Arabic into English.

Translating a political text from Arabic to English is a job that requires a set of skills. It needs a translator with a very good background about the actual context in which the piece of writing in the original language is set.

This is quite important because Arabic to English translation is an art. It is not a word for word - or what we call literal - translation.

It is a process where the translator conveys the spirit and purport/gist of the text - rather than translating a word for word.

The Arabic language is a very rich language and one thing can be expressed in multiple ways and written in different ways - that vary between a direct way of saying and an indirect and implicit way of saying it.

To reflect and convey this in English to an English speaking reader requires a complete awareness of the very in-depth meaning of the source language text and what it exactly wants to say.

Then the translator needs to have a full mastery of the English language to be able to make the best choice of words when translating from Arabic to English. They need to choose the right words for the right context, in fact the most suitable words.

What complicates the translation of political Arabic-language texts is the different style, accents and dialects that might be involved. If it is a text written in colloquial Iraqi accent, it would be completely different from one written in Egyptian Arabic accent.

Even within the same country, vastly different Arabic dialects can make translating a text from Arabic to English extremely difficult, which again requires a full awareness of the nuances and subtleties as well as variations between the dialects and accents of the Arabic language.
