DUBAI, 20th October, 2025 (WAM) -- The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has launched the Arabic-
German Translation Workshop during its participation at the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025, marking a key milestone in the global expansion of
its Dubai International Program for Writing (DIPW).
The initiative aims to strengthen the presence of Arabic books in the German literary landscape and foster cultural exchange by translating
selected Arabic works into German. The workshop was launched in the presence of Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, and renowned
German orientalist Stefan Weidner, who will lead the training of emerging translators to refine their skills.
Bin Huwaireb said the initiative addresses the growing demand for contemporary translations of Arabic works into German amid increasing
interest in Arab culture. He added that developing new translators based on sound methodological foundations will help expand the reach of
Arabic literature globally.
