The translation movement at the King Abdulaziz Public Library is witnessing a distinguished momentum, as the library has translated many historical, literary, scientific, and cultural books into Arabic from 12 international languages, while it has transferred to a large number of international languages large collections of books concerned with Saudi, Arab, and Islamic culture and history.

On the occasion of International Translation Day, which falls on September 30 of each year, the library highlights aspects of translation at the King Abdulaziz Public Library in Riyadh. The library has been keen to activate this activity, transferring human knowledge with its various scientific orientations to Arab cultural life, and working to open global windows that offer everything new to readers and researchers. The library plays an important role in establishing the national dimension in experiencing global culture, reflecting what the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is doing to coexist with the era to achieve the goals of Vision 2030. The library has translated books from major international languages including English, French, German, Russian, Hindi, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and others.
