The Riyadh International Translation Forum has opened in the Saudi capital, highlighting the Kingdom’s growing role as a global hub for cultural exchange and linguistic innovation. The event brings together translators, linguists, and scholars from around the world to explore how language serves as a bridge for communication, creativity, and understanding.
The forum features discussions on AI-driven translation technologies, multilingual publishing, and the evolving role of translators in an increasingly digital world. Experts also emphasized the importance of translation in spreading knowledge, fostering cultural dialogue, and supporting educational development — key pillars of Saudi Vision 2030.
With participation from leading universities, translation institutes, and international organizations, the forum includes interactive workshops, expert panels, and live demonstrations, offering young Saudi professionals the opportunity to learn and collaborate with global experts.
Organizers noted that the initiative aims to position Riyadh as a global center for translation, linguistics, and cultural communication, reinforcing the message that language remains humanity’s most powerful tool for connection and understanding.
