NEWS TRANSLATION Strategies and Techniques

This book has been compiled and prepared as a practice manual for trainee news translation, mass-communication, as well as translation students. The idea of this book came from the author's personal experience teaching several translation courses.

Bank Translator

This manual was prompted by a need widely perceived in all Gulf Countries, as well as other Arab countries where English is heavily used in banking and business sectors, for a handbook that guides inexperienced and novice bank translators in their work. No doubt many books and manuals have been produced on translation into and out of English and Arabic, as are many specialized dictionaries.
