Cairo University starts proverb translation contest
Cairo University has launched a translation competition titled "Egyptian Popular Literature in World Languages: Proverbs and Dialect Expressions," with the aim of transmitting Egyptian heritage and culture to non-Arabic-speaking readers through translations into nine global languages, including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The competition involves translating books about Egyptian heritage authored by the renowned Ahmad Taimour Pasha. The translation of "Dialectal Proverbs" is designated for young translators aged up to 22, while "Dialectal Expressions" is aimed at professionals aged 23 and above. The university emphasizes the importance of translation in fostering interaction among peoples and conveying values and cultures, while preserving the spirit of the heritage and its social and human principles. A panel of expert professors will evaluate the entries, focusing on linguistic accuracy, maintaining the original spirit of the text, employing appropriate translation techniques, and considering the additional effort made by the translator. The competition seeks to revive Egyptian cultural heritage and enhance global cultural cooperation by highlighting the wisdom contained in proverbs and popular expressions.
