Translation Difficulties

The present study aims at identifying and analyzing the most common problems which face Arab students when they translate from their native language into English. Most Arab students who specialize in English find translation from Arabic into English much more difficult than translation from English into Arabic because they are more familiar with the various linguistic and cultural aspects of their mother tongue than those of a foreign language.
