At the start of the second semester of the 2024-2025 academic year, King Khalid University’s College of Languages and Translation initiated a strategic collaboration with the Saudi Arabian Translation Association, in line with Saudi Vision 2030. The partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding, aims to enhance academic research, cultural exchange, and professional training in translation studies. It seeks to address the increasing demand for quality translation services by establishing robust academic-industry ties, thereby providing practical experience for students and advancing the profession.
