Translation Unit Webinar Attracts Almost 100 Attendees
On May 17, 2022, the Translation Unit extended an invitation to Mr. Ahmad Assiri, a Ph.D. candidate in Translation Studies at Macquarie University, to spearhead a translation webinar open to all students at King Khalid University. The seminar, aptly titled "Translation in a Clear & Correct Arabic Language," underscored crucial facets of the Arabic language that translators and interpreters must take into account. These elements included stylistic, grammatical, and orthographic aspects critical for creating clear and accurate Arabic translations from English texts. The session also offered insights on post-editing techniques beneficial for translators.
Mr. Assiri expressed his delight at the opportunity to address the students of King Khalid University in this stimulating webinar curated by the Translation Unit. He commended the attendees' engagement and understanding of the key concepts presented, reflecting their impressive interaction with the subject matter.
The webinar was marked by high attendance, with nearly 100 participants engaged in practical training exercises pertinent to the discussed topics throughout the session. We extend our gratitude to everyone who joined us live. For those who were unable to attend, a recording of the webinar is available at: https://youtu.be/AVOH20MhNdA.
