Worldwide, there is an increased reliance on COVID-19-related health messages to curb the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, it is vital to provide a well-prepared and authentic translation of English-language messages to reach culturally and linguistically diverse audiences. However, few studies, if any, focus on how non-English-speaking readers receive and linguistically accept the lexical choices in the messages translated into their language. The present study tested a sample of translated Arabic COVID-19-related texts that were obtained from the World Health Organization and Australian New South Wales Health websites. This study investigated to that extent Arabic readers would receive translated COVID-19 health messages and whether the translation would affect their preparedness to easily accept and their ability to fully comprehend the messages in terms of the used lexical items. The survey-based research also explored the translation process and methods that would best ensure the messages would reach the target audience with the least loss of meaning. The study concluded that some acceptability issues and comprehensibility failure were detected in the available translated versions as a result of improper word selection, which could be attributed to adopting a literal translation method and uncommon collocations of certain medical terminologies. Therefore, this study recommends that effective translation of COVID-19-related health messages will be achieved by adopting a two-tier translation process, preferably involving a medical specialised translator.

The Arabic language has always been and still is the preoccupation of our scholars, both advanced and late, because of the amazing secrets that this language holds. What distinguished it from the rest of the languages is that its owners speak with sounds that others are unable to pronounce, except by vigorous attempts, and these voices include za’, middle and extreme hamza, and ha’.

يتناول البحث دراسة الأصوات في العربية وتقسيماتها بناءً على طبيعة جريان الهواء وانحباسه في مجرى النطق هي الأصوات التي لا ينحبس فيها الهواء انحباساً تاماً في مخرجها، بل يضيق المخرج بشكل يسمح للهواء بالمرور والاستمرار في الجريان وإحداث صوت "احتكاكي" مسموع.أمثلة على الأصوات المستمرة (الرخوة)
لطالما كانت وما زالت اللغة العربية الشغل الشاغل لعلمائنا متقدمين ومتأخرين، لما تحمله هذه اللغة من أسرار عجيبة، فمما امتازت به من بقية اللغات أنَّ أصحابها ينطقون بأصواتٍ لا يتمكن غيرهم من النطق بها، إلا بمحاولات حثيثة، ومن هذه الأصوات الظاء والهمزة المتوسطة والمتطرفة والحاء. وذكر مكي بن ابي طالب أنَّ الاصمعي قد ذكر أن صوت الثاء غير موجود لا في الفارسية ولا في الرومية وليس عند السريانية ذال. أمَّا العين و

But their formation and interpretation are based on different cognitive mechanisms. At the formal and functional level, metonymy and irony have a number of significant differences. Metonymy is an artistic technique, the mechanism of which is based on obvious, easily traced connections between objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. Irony is a satirical technique or a rhetorical figure that is used to create a certain artistic image, aimed at forming the hidden meaning of the statement. A native speaker intuitively feels the difference between metonymy and irony
