In the early centuries, the
Church had deemed and proclaimed that English was the language of the lower
classes. It was not recognized as a language in Rome, where whoever was caught
speaking the tongue was thrown into the punishment pit.
However, eventually people saw
that they had the power of change. That was when the world slowly learnt
English. Now, it is the most spoken language in the world, along with French
and Arabic. From business, to entertainment, to pavement chit-chat, to
transactions and deals, English is the dominant language.
Take the Arabic language for
instance: as of the year 2008 there were already 422 million native speakers of
the language, yet that number is still behind compared to the English language,
which is spoken by more than a billion people. But as commerce or acts of
friendship take place all over the world, translation makes communication
easier.
Arabic
Translation is the vehicle to understanding English.
Everyone perceives it as hard to translate English into Arabic because of its
complex alphabet and writing system. The words are written from right to left,
as opposed to the English way of writing. Words are sometimes connected to each
other; sometimes the connection is at the front, sometimes it is in the middle
or at the end, depending on the word or letter. It is also useful to know that
the numbering system that is used by almost everyone is Arabic, (1, 2, 3, 4,
5…..).
If everybody only communicates
using their native language, how will everyone understand each other? If the
story of the Tower of Babel is true, that once upon a time, people constructed
a very tall tower to reach heaven, and that God punished the people for doing
so by giving people a different language so that they could not understand each
other, thus stopping the construction of the tower because of lack of
communication, then language translation or learning a particular language is
man’s remedy for this punishment.
Once you are talking in a way
that’s similar to your neighbor’s you are already
building a community. Arabic Translation is just another opportunity for Arabs
to compete with the rest of the world.
Arabic Translation is a unique
way of connecting Asia to other countries that speak English. Opening the
portal of communication to the world is just the beginning of understanding
people’s ideas, philosophy, culture, tradition, suffering and sentiments.
Arabic Translation lets you understand what is happening outside your country.
Through Arabic Translation, the
foreignness of English or any other language is no longer hidden in its
phonetic sound. Everybody deserves a fair chance. The world is talking. You are
listening. Do you understand what it says? If not, then have it translated.
