Abstract EN

This research tackles the problem of redundancy in translation .

It discusses the issue of where redundancy occurs most whether in Arabic or English .

It examines the issue of redundancy as a must or as an option specially for Arab translators .

It also tries to know when an addition to the translated text is considered useful or redundant .The researcher hypothesizes that all languages have redundancy , especially in translating , whether spoken or written , with every language accusing the other language of being redundant.

Sometimes it is the speakers of that language make the accusation.

All languages have redundancy , and it is a kind of equivalence shifts in translation: an attempt to provide a readable text for target language (TL) readers.
