The General Authority for Literature, Publishing, and Translation is launching the “Tarjim Initiative” from January 1 to February 1, 2025.

Tarjim 2025 Initiative is to enhance the translation sector in Saudi Arabia, enrich Arabic content with high-value translated materials, and strengthen cultural and knowledge exchange between the Kingdom and the world. Moreover, the initiative involves translation experts to discuss modern developments, technologies, and trends in the industry. It emphasises the profession's role in connecting cultures and civilisations and its role in achieving social, cultural, and linguistic communication between different races and societies. In addition, the Authority has set conditions for book translation grants, requiring the book to be useful, enriching cultural content, licensed in Saudi Arabia, and possessing intellectual rights. The Authority may exempt some requests from these conditions as needed. Besides, the content to be translated must be in the original language, published within the last five years, and in the humanities and cultural sciences. The academic periodical should not be longer than 300 pages with a word count of 300 every page, and articles should not be longer than 60 pages with a word count of 300 each. The Literature, Publishing, and Translation Authority started the Tarjam Initiative in 2020, coinciding with International Translation Day (September 30). The program intends to help Saudi Arabia's translation movement while also strengthening cultural and knowledge exchange ties with the rest of the globe. Read more about the Camel Year Festival, 2024
