| Abstract | ||
| This paper investigates assessing Arabic-English translated religious texts. Throughout history, religious texts translation has been an important part in spreading the divine word. It has been also used to mirror the importance of morals and faith, and to teach newly- converted people the rules and premises of the new religion. The study aims to answer the following questions 1) What are the strategies adopted by translator when they deal with religious texts? 2) What are the solutions available to overcome the problems encountered by religious texts translators? The author presents many culture-specific expressions and other linguistic-related problems that encounter translators during rendering from Arabic into English. The data collected in this paper is taken from different Quranic interpretations which have been analysed and assessed in terms of the strategies and procedures that should be followed in dealing with translating the religious texts. The author suggests some solutions that can be followed in dealing with translating religious texts. | ||
