Word choice
The initial draft was prepared as a fresh translation without using the previous ports available in Arabic for Egypt and Jordan. As Arabic is one of the official languages of the UN, the draft relied on the official Arabic translation of popular IP conventions and treaties, namely:
- Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
- WIPO Copyright Treaty
- Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances
- Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities
Egypt 3.0 ported licenses were used in limited cases as a reference for difficult translations.
October 2014: The translation team had a disagreement on the translation of some basic and fundamental terms in the translation due to the fact that Arab countries use different words to explain some basic copyright concepts. Such terms include "work", "adapt", "circumvent", "access", "reproduce", "distribute", "communicate", "royalties", "moral rights", "integrity", "effective technological measures", "make available", and "notice". The translation team is currently considering using the terms used in the translations of the IP treaties mentioned above. The use of the treaties will be limited to translating specific terms and will not replace the language of the licenses as a whole with that of the treaties.
