An Elementary Glossary with Emphasis on Medical Terminology

Book & 2 x CD. This book has been specifically designed for tourists, businessmen and students who do not know the language, as well as those who would like to improve their existing knowledge of the language. Importance has been given to everyday common situations which occur in day-to-day dealings in Arabic speaking countries.

The book has been designed keeping in mind the growing interaction with the Arabic speaking world.
 

Includes CD-ROM. This practical course i for anyone who would like to pursue technical translation in Arabic and English, in such areas as legal, medical, financial or other kinds of non-literary documents (literary translation is a different discipline from technical). The course is based on the practical experience of a major translation company which has been translating -- routinely and successfully -- Arabic-into-English and English-into-Arabic documents in all technical areas for almost twenty years. The assignments in the book are taken from real-life documents which were translated by this company, with names and other information changed in some cases to protect proprietary information. Nothing sharpens translation skills more than the actual art of translating. But one needs an entry point, either into the technical translation field in general, or into new areas of translation, if one has already been doing one kind of technical translation, such as legal. This course provides the entry point.
 

This self-study program offers guidelines on how to translate general text as well as legal, medical, financial, or other technical subjects, providing exercises drawn from actual translation projects. Each text is explained and annotated. Each program comes packed in a three-ring binder and contains the following elements: Guide for Translators -- The abridged version of the 'Translator's Handbook' is tucked into the front pocket of the binder for easy portability and quick reference; Translation Update -- A complimentary one-year subscription to our bimonthly newsletter, offering an up-to-date view of translation tools, issues, and humour; Workbooks -- Each program contains eight exercises -- four from English into Arabic, and four from Arabic into English.

Includes a 60-minute audio CD providing key words and phrases, an audio reference guide, and a 'Lonely Planet' Phrasebook featuring: grammar, a 2-way dictionary, information on local culture, and travel tips.
