A Message to Arab Translators and Linguists

[Amer Al Azem Translation]

A Message to Arab Translators and Linguists

For 25 years, I have defended the Arabic language, translation, and the Arab human being.
For 25 years, I have struggled and suffered alone.
For 25 years, I have trained others free of charge.
For 25 years, I have elevated the status of Arabs and the Arabic language.

For 25 years, you have not even taken the initiative to join my association that carries the name of the Arabs.
For 25 years, you have not supported my association—neither financially nor through your efforts.
For 25 years, I have honored you and raised your standing.

I have reached glory and carved my name into history, while you remain stagnant and withdrawn.

You cannot imagine the depth of my disappointment in you.
