It starts first by introducing the reader to some key concept related to the field of translation .throughout the different chapter from the theoretical parts to the practical examples, the book achieved its aim to clear some assumptions that many students, including myself, have on translation activity. This probably our deadly sin, but most of us thought of translation as easy task that consist of searching equivalent words for the TT in the dictionary. Yet translation is not just about language, about words. It’s an art, a creative activity, because you can have two translators working on the same passage, and end up with completely two different final products.Apart from the first chapters that help the student to learn about the translation process. The book provides key concepts related to linguistic properties .
that helps the student or the reader in general to clarify and significantly understand some of the problems and issues that may emerge while translating from Arabic to English.
