Arabic subtitling services are essential in creating a global presence for business content. Utilizing them will ensure that it can be understood and enjoyed by an expansive audience.

Subtitling is one of the most widely utilized audiovisual translation (AVT) techniques in Arab nations, yet receives limited academic interest and studies pertaining to this form of translation. Scholarship on subtitling is relatively scarce and most subtitling staff lack training on dealing with colloquial Arabic; particularly lacking is instruction on translating metaphorical Arabic into English.
This research seeks to shed light on one of the more difficult challenges Arabic subtitlers are currently faced with: tackling culture-specific references expressed through metaphors. As part of their weekly course assignments at Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s MA program in Audiovisual Translation, fourteen students enrolled in its MA program in Audiovisual Translation were required to subtitle two extracts from Syrian series Maraya as part of an MA degree in Audiovisual Translation program. Students were asked to identify the most challenging aspects of their subtitling tasks and discuss any challenges encountered when translating culture-specific phrases, including using euphemization or offensive terms; furthermore, cultural references must also be translated correctly in translations from Arabic into English. Based on this research’s results, additional training for AVT must be developed within Arab culture.
