The paper titled "Approaches to Bangla-Arabic Translation: Subtleties and Solutions" addresses significant issues related to translating from Bangla to Arabic, focusing on the complexities due to the fundamental differences between the two languages. The study examines the types of translation methods, the role of the translator, and the challenges posed by the distinct grammar, lexicon, usage, stylistics, and phonology of Bangla and Arabic.
The authors highlight that translation between these languages is particularly challenging because of their vastly different linguistic structures and cultural contexts. The research delves into both literal and free translation methods, emphasizing the need for translators to carefully consider the subtleties of each language to maintain the meaning and impact of the original text. It also discusses the roles and responsibilities of translators, stressing the importance of cultural and linguistic awareness in producing accurate translations.
The paper concludes with practical recommendations for translators and translation students, suggesting ways to overcome the challenges associated with Bangla-Arabic translation. It also offers insights into the skills needed to address these challenges effectively and calls for further research in this area to refine translation techniques and improve the quality of translations between these two languages.
