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.
