No such schools in the LA area. MIIS for degree & certification programs Nov 23, 2009

Best I know, no such schools or institutions in the Los Angeles/southern California area offer courses for translation in the language pair of English & Arabic, whether for certification or an academic degree in the field.

FYI, the closest-known institution in California which does conduct instruction in translation involving Arabic - English is the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS)[located way up north in Monterey, below San Francisco]. MIIS now (finally) offers academic degrees, professional certification programs, and summertime intensive special courses in Arabic-English for professional or research purposes.

Kindly clarify in which specific field, profession, industry, technology, or application do you wish to specialize and market your services as a translator?

When convenient, send your CV or resume to me, and I can circulate that for registration with some language services agencies around here.

There apparently are very few [a handful-plus for the moment] Arabic-English translators and interpreters here in the LA & OC area, with some others clustered up in the SF / Bay area. Glad to advise and assist as I can.

Proz.com is a helpful site to visit. Plan on attending at the next Pow-wow in the LA area. The last one was last weekend in Santa Monica.

A volunteer organization called the "Southern California Translators and Interpreters Association" (SCATIA) used to operate for a few years for the benefit of LA and OC-based professional bilinguals, but that body reportedly unravelled and disbanded about a year ago when the workload overwhelmed the volunteers who staffed and operated the association.

Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.

If you do decide to pursue studies at MIIS, feel free to e-mail me. I am a graduate of the translation department there (German). Good to see that they are finally offering Arabic.
