During the visit, the students gained insights into the practical aspects of translation, drawing on the experiences of the Center’s translators at the Center’s Translation Unit. They participated in short workshops focused on hands-on training in modern translation techniques and methods. Additionally, the students were introduced to various types of documents translated at the Center, the challenges faced by translators, common translation errors, and strategies for addressing issues encountered during the translation process.
It is worth mentioning that the CCTLT regularly conducts training and professional development courses for students specializing in translation and languages. These courses aim to equip translators with the skills needed for the labor market across diverse fields of translation and language teaching, thereby contributing to the advancement of translation and language teaching in Yemen.
