Boekvertaler van Arabisch naar Catalaans

Modern Standard Arabic is the literary and formal register of a vast Semitic language family spoken across the Arab world, with the Quran serving as its foundational text and over four hundred million speakers globally. Translation between a Semitic source and a Romance target demands careful attention to word order, modality, and politeness systems, because the two families encode information in fundamentally different ways.

Catalan is a valuable target for reaching ten million speakers in Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearics, Andorra, and southern France, with strong cultural and political demand for Catalan-language content. Moving from Arabic to Latin script means flipping reading direction back to LTR, expanding implicit vowels, and rendering names like Muhammad or Husayn in a way that target-language readers will recognize and pronounce.

Arabic literature spans over fifteen centuries from pre-Islamic poetry through the Quran, the One Thousand and One Nights, and the Nobel-winning novels of Naguib Mahfouz. Catalan is used in Catalan and Valencian regional governments, Andorra's national government, a thriving publishing industry, and the public broadcaster TV3.
