English to Arabic: UN Translation - Disaster Risk Reduction
General field: Other
Detailed field: International Org/Dev/Coop
Source text - English
In other words, each country has to build back better within its means and available resources - which will differ depending on whether you are in San Francisco, USA, or Kathmandu, Nepal. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the global plan for reducing disaster risk and disaster losses adopted last year, recognizes the importance of revising building codes and reconstruction practices “with the aim of making them more applicable within the local context”.

By revealing risks, disasters uncover their underlying drivers and provide an impetus for change. The establishment of a Reconstruction Authority by the Nepal government and its acceptance of a curriculum designed by NSET for training 60,000 masons is one example of how to go about building back better.

Translation - Arabic
بعبارة أخرى يجب أن يعيد كل بلد البناء على نحو أفضل في حدود إمكانياته والموارد المتاحة له، وسوف يختلف ذلك على حسب ما إذا كنت في سان فرانسيسكو بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية أو في كاتماندو بجمهورية نيبال. إن إطار سِنداي للحد من مخاطر الكوارث – وهو الخطة العالمية للحد من مخاطر الكوارث والخسائر الناجمة عنها التي اعتُمِدت العام الماضي – يعترف بأهمية تنقيح كودات البناء وممارسات إعادة الإعمار «بهدف جعلها أكثر قابلية للتطبيق داخل السياق المحلي».

والكوارث من خلال كشفها للمخاطر ترفع الستار عن البواعث الكامنة ورائها وتوفر قوة دافعة للتغيير. ومن النماذج التي توضح كيفية السير في طريق إعادة البناء على نحو أفضل ما اضطلعت به حكومة نيبال حيث أنشأت هيئة لإعادة الإعمار وأقرت منهجاً تعليمياً من تصميم الجمعية الوطنية لتكنولوجيا الزلازل لتدريب ٦٠ ألف عامل بناء.
English to Arabic: UN Translation - Women Rights (Sample from the Content of a Video Message)
General field: Other
Detailed field: International Org/Dev/Coop
Source text - English
Sustainable development, a truly peaceful and harmonious society, are only possible when all talents, including the talents of women, are free to thrive. Peace and harmony among humans are only possible when all rights, including women's rights, are recognized.

For too long, women have been worn down by promises with no action, by violations with no justice. We can – we must – do better.

The truth is straightforward. Human rights mean rights for all humans. Women’s rights are inseparable from men’s. Protecting and promoting women's equality is the responsibility of all governments. Human rights will only be respected, and our societies will only flourish, when governments deliver on that responsibility.

Translation - Arabic
إن تحقيق التنمية المستدامة وخلق مجتمع يسوده السلام والوئام بصورة فعلية لا يكون إلا بإعطاء مساحة لازدهار المواهب جميعها بما فيها مواهب المرأة. إن زرع الهدوء والانسجام بين البشر لا يكون إلا بالاعتراف بالحقوق جميعها بما فيها حقوق المرأة.

لقد عاشت المرأة زمناً طال واستطال وقد أنهكتها وعود لا ينفذها عمل وانتهاكات لا يردعها عدل. إننا نستطيع وإنه لواجب علينا أن نحسِّن من أدائنا.

إن الحقيقة واضحة جلية. حقوق الإنسان تعني حقوق البشر جميعاً. وحقوق المرأة لا تنفصل عن حقوق الرجل. إن حماية حق المرأة في المساواة وتعزيزه مسؤولية جميع الحكومات. فلا احترام لحقوق الإنسان ولا ازدهار لمجتمعاتنا إلا عندما تؤدي الحكومات واجبها على النحو المنشود تجاه تلك المسؤولية.

Say goodbye to portal subscriptions

Sourcing candidates is the most important part in the recruitment cycle and has the greatest impact on its success. Recruiters spend a lot of their time and energy sourcing candidates from different online and offline sources to find the best match. The advances in Artificial Intelligence, Chatbot technology, have enabled XXX to design a new service called “XXX”. This service utilizes the latest technology to reduce the time consumed traditionally by Recruiters in managing different job portals, LinkedIn or any other task related to sourcing. This service also removes any human bias and focuses on finding the best candidate according to client requirements. Even though we utilize technology in 65% of the process we also involve our experienced Recruiters to make sure the results make sense and are a real match for what the client needs.

أجرى مندوبو الدول الكبرى اجتماعا مغلقا في مقر البعثة الصينية بالأمم المتحدة أمس لمناقشة فرض عقوبات جديدة على إيران، وذلك في وقت رحبت واشنطن بالوساطة التركية بأزمة برنامج طهران النووي، في حين كشف تقرير عسكري أميركي أن إيران قد تصبح قادرة على ضرب أميركا بصواريخ عابرة للقارات بحلول عام 2015.

Translation - English
Representatives of the major powers held a closed meeting at the headquarters of the Chinese Mission to the UN yesterday to discuss imposing new sanctions on Iran. This comes at a time when Washington has welcomed Turkey's mediation on the crisis over Tehran's nuclear program. Meanwhile, a US military report has disclosed Iran's potential capability of striking the US using intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) by 2015.

Arabic to English: Gender Equality

Detailed field: General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Source text - Arabic
التسوية ليست مساواة.. فالمرأة تحصل على حقها عندما تُعامل على أنها كيان مختلف بما يناسب طبيعتها حيث إن التسوية لا مراعاة فيها للاختلاف الطبيعي بين الرجل والمرأة، فالعلاقة بينهما خُلقت تكاملية، ولا يعني ذلك أفضلية جنس على الآخر، فالمكانة واحدة ولكن المهام مختلفة.
Translation - English
Equalization is not equality. Women obtain their rights when treated as different entities in a way commensurate with their nature. Equalization has no consideration for the natural differences between men and women. The relationship between both genders is created as complementary, and this does not mean that one gender has an advantage over the other, as status is the same but duties are different.
