The Earth Turns and the World has Changed
Science journalism in Egypt reflects the way science is taught, perceived and practiced in the country. Online publications cover science and technology in different ways. Yet, all of them rely on translators as most of the science stories are sourced from foreign outlets. This paper looks at how science is covered in the top publications online and argues that in the digital age new skills and approaches are required to address a younger generat…
Police interpreting
Interpreting for the police is the backbone of legal interpreting. Yet it is grossly overshadowed by the more visible and more public court interpreting. This paper describes the setting of police interpreting, highlighting some of the major issues and challenges in the field that place a lot more than linguistic pressure on the interpreter. It examines the task of interpreters working within the Australian police setting and casts light on three…
Subtitling Naguib Mahfouz
Naguib Mahfouz, Egypt’s literary icon, wrote a large number of novels that were turned into films. As the DVD industry in Egypt enters its second decade, the number of these films appearing on DVD and subtitled into English is also increasing. Despite this trend, academic institutions in Egypt, and elsewhere in the Arab world, remain largely oblivious to the new specialization of audiovisual translation. So far, academic research into audiovisual…

This development has also changed the way translation is created and accessed. Translation is fast becoming multimodal; using image, video, audio and colour in addition to text in a myriad of ways, contexts and settings. However, this new fo…
Audiovisual Translation in the Arab World (v 0.4)
Translation remains one of the most complex issues in modern Arab culture, thought and development. Despite the collective efforts of individuals, organizations and government policies the results continue to be modest and stop short of the desired target. In addition to the well-known issues that contribute to the translation crisis in the Arab world, digital technology has changed the rules of the game almost entirely. Translation, in the tradi…
Egypt’s audiovisual translation scene
The rise of Arab satellite broadcasting in the 1990s has helped catapult Arab and Egyptian media production to new heights. Yet the massive increase in the number of satellite channels and the hours of broadcasting has relied, to a large extent, on imported programs and translation was its main vehicle either through subtitling or dubbing. This paper traces the rise of the audiovisual translation (AVT) industry in Egypt and provides an insight in…
