I’ve been diving into Thinking Arabic Translation lately—it’s such a practical guide (24-week course, plenty of useful exercises—from media and fiction to technical topics like Islamic finance!) that’s really helped sharpen my Arabic-to-English translation skills I also came across this service that offers professional Arabic translation support: https://www.translation.pk/arabic-tra...
