English to Arabic: NGOs General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English The Arab world is experiencing a dearth of reliable data on substance use. The latter is a topic that is neither consistently, nor comprehensively, researched in the Arab world. Existing data is largely not current, not comparable, or not methodologically-sound. Since substance use patterns and trends are constantly changing, it is necessary to constantly be researching and gathering statistics and data on these patterns—for greater understanding and better responses.
A one-of-a-kind initiative in the Arab world, the Center aims at becoming a beacon of knowledge with prominent researchers, scientists and specialists from the Arab world and across the globe offering knowledge, studies, statistical data, facts, and research s on drug awareness and prevention.
The Center’s content is free to download off the Foundation’s website: www.mentorarabia.org
Translation - Arabic يعاني العالم العربي من حالة نقص شديدة في بيانات تعاطي المخدرات ذات الأحجية. ويعد تعاطي المخدرات موضوع بحثي غير متسق أو غير شامل في العالم العربي، إضافة إلى أن البيانات الحالية غير حديثة وغير قابلة للمقارنة كما أنها غير منهجية. ونظراً لطبيعة منهجيات تعاطي المخدرات وتوجهاتها التي تتغير تغيرا كبيرا، فمن الضروري الاستمرار في البحث وجمع الإحصائيات والبيانات حول هذه النماذج وذلك لتحقيق فهم أكبر وردود أفضل.
ويهدف المركز بمبادرته الفريدة من نوعها في العالم العربي إلى أن يصبح منارة المعرفة بضمه للباحثين والعلماء والمتخصصين في العالم العربي ومن كل أنحاء العالم ليقدموا المعرفة والدراسات والبيانات الإحصائية والحقائق والأبحاث حول الوعي والوقاية من المخدرات.

Letter of Recommendation
“I write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Ahmed Maher with great enthusiasm for the exceptional quality of his work as a translator of written English to Arabic. He has been translating for our organization for over a year and a half as a member of our Arabic translation team that is charged with handling some of our major United States Government contracts.
While he is vigorous and meticulous in insisting on exact meanings for words, in both languages. He also understands that words are, at best, symbols for expression. Thus, he is capable of more than literal transposing from English to Arabic and vice versa.
While his command of spoken English is more than adequate for any business/technical situation, Mr. Maher's strongest ability is certainly in written translation. He will excel in literary, technical, business or diplomatic applications of translation between Arabic and English. If you are looking for an intrinsically motivated translator for your documents, journals, manuals or correspondence, Mr. Maher is someone well worth full consideration.“
