18 December UN World Arabic Language Day

Today is UN #ArabicLanguageDay. So we’d like to pay tribute to all the Arabic speaking #translators and #interpreters who work at the UN, but also more widely in roles around the world. Your work is invaluable in promoting communication and breaking down barriers.

Acknowledge the Translator - One book per day for 20 days. No explanation, no review. Just the cover, the source and target languages, and the name(s) of the translator(s).
