PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN TRANSLATING ISLAMIC-RELATED TEXTS FROM ENGLISH INTO ARABIC
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aims to explore the problems that experienced translators in Jordan face when translating ideological Islamic-related texts from English into Arabic. To achieve this purpose, the researchers have designed a translation test consisting of 10 extracts with ideological content written by Muslim and non-Muslim writers. A purposive sample of 16 translators was selected to perform the test. The researchers have analyzed the results of the test qualitatively. The study reveals that the translators have faced the following six problems when rendering the texts; inability to deal with the ideological implications; the ambiguity of some words; the differences between source language (SL) and target language (TL) cultures; the translators' semantic and syntactic mediation; lack of knowledge and the inadequacy of dictionaries.
