The boom in the Translation industry has now produced another successful miracle- the first dictionary to be published in Jewish Moroccan language. Published by Mordechai Hanoun, this dictionary has taken two years of effort and contains approximately 10,000 words, idioms, phrases, and sayings from the Jewish Arabic of Morocco and the Hebrew translations. It has been reported that Hanoun has told Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew journal that words and phrases from English, French, Hebrew and Italian were mixed into this unique language, along with ancient Akkadian and Ugaritic.

This marks yet another revolutionary step for the translation industry which is fast rising up the graph of success. The fact that languages such as the Jewish Moroccan language which is popular only in a specific region has kindled the interest of the people across the globe, goes to prove the strength and importance of translation. The translation industry is playing a commendable role in popularizing the languages and also creating a passion in people to learn it. A lot of ancient and beautiful languages that were buried and lost during globalization are now surfacing due to translation.

With this, we can definitely look forward to reading, studying, and translating many more exotic languages in the near future.
