Description:
The idea of Dar Al-Tarjama (DAT) aims at the establishment of a worldwide, comprehensive translation movement / practice, starting with the Arab countries then spreading to the rest of the world. First of all it has to be understood that translation is a service business, not an industry or commerce. This service is provided to the society with its various enterprises and institutions with the aim of offering the suitable media that can make various cultures interact and eventually react in a positive manner. From there, DAT was started with the aim of providing this tool, this service and this media to any serious effort aiming for the revival of the Arabs and the enlightenment of mankind through spreading reliable knowledge.
In 2003 a virtual team of volunteer translators and proofreaders, from over 20 countries, gathered with this purpose in mind, and aiming chiefly to connect cultures and get them acquainted rather than clashing. While we were first setting our targets, we had to ask ourselves two questions:
1. What has the Arab nation got, that deserves to be conveyed to the other cultures?
2. What have the other cultures got, that deserves to be conveyed to the Arab nation?
The most evident replies were:
1. Islam, our history, our culture and experiences as a nation / region are all unique subjects that we got and that deserve to be conveyed to the western cultures. From all of these, Islam is by far, the most misrepresented by our culture and the most misunderstood by the others cultures.
2. We need almost everything from the other cultures. Almost because we only need achievements in selected areas that are useful and needed for our nation.
The mission statement:
Translation is the portal of the Arab Nation to the whole world, and the portal of all mankind to the world of Islam.
