Translating medical journals into Arabic. JAMA Middle East as an example
1JAMA Middle East, Saida, Lebanon. halloush@hotmail.com
Abstract:
JAMA Middle East has distributed monthly 25,000 issues into 14 Arab countries since 1991. Translating the original articles into Arabic was considered as the license permits translation. The number of Arab physicians exceeds 250,000, but those who studied medicine in Arabic are very few. Adequate translators and other publishing staff are lacking. Advertisers will not invest in journals without readership. The other 13 international editions of JAMA publish in their national languages, so do their medical schools. Teaching medicine in a foreign language did not bring leadership to Arab medicine. It is just another indicator of Arab underdevelopment. There is growing support to shift the language of medical teaching into Arabic, but the only practical step has been the Unified Medical Dictionary.

01:31Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.

Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
