@Linguist_Dina @TurjumanTweets حتى قليلي الذكاء/البسطاء يستطيعون تعلم لغة جديدة، لكن أن تصبح مترجمًا فأنه يحتاج منك أكثر من ذلك.

@RandaOAA Another suggested translation:
لا يفل الحديد إلا الحديد

@Askmutarjim Regarding the second part of your question, as a translator you should have competency in both languages (SL & TL)

@iman_7i What about this Hadith:
"من تقرب مني شبرًا تقربت منه ذراعًا، ومن أتاني يمشي أتيته هرولة"

@TARJIMHA إذا هبت رياحك فاغتنمها
It corresponds to the whole sentence not only to the phrase in question.

[Ahmad @AhmadBAYR]

@S962jo The first one is more accurate, but if you drop the word "central" from the second one, it will be fine.
By the way, I think both translations tend to be literal. So I'd like to suggest this translation:
The program includes two divisions.

@targemly_app In my opinion, the closest translation to this Arabic sentence is "read between the lines".

[Ahmad @AhmadBAYR]

@Hanaksa I think it's okay. There is no problem with this translation. Actually, sometimes literal translation can be the best solution.

@ssnn220 Feedback translation can be used to check your translation.

[Ahmad @AhmadBAYR]

@iamlena34 Of course not. The verb must match the subject. This is what we call in grammar "subject-verb agreement". The subject is plural and the verb doesn't match it.

@Translator_88 First of all, this is not a callocation; it is an idiom. Secondly, we do not translate it to ايدٍ جيدة because it has an equivalence in Arabic Which is ايدٍ أمينة.
