Hi
I am not aware of any English/Arabic translation program in the
US. However, there are many in the UK and the Middle East.

An Ideal translation program would incorporate an advanced study
of both languages and their literatures, especially in the first part of
the course. It should aim at developing the students' translation
skills throughout the course, starting from the minimum extracts
(phrases, sentences, paragraphs) to full length texts of different
types (literary, legal, scientific and technical, journalistic etc.).
The
cultural aspect should be paid attention to as well.

Interpreting demands a very good command and fluency in both
languages. Time limit makes Interpreting much more demanding
than translation. So it should be taught at the second part of the
course.

Regards
Sattar
