Federal laws to be translated into English

The Ministry of Justice has started translating all the 681 federal laws in the country into English in the first phase of a vital project to help the foreign communities.
The English version of the laws, including civil, criminal, personal and commercial laws, will be posted on the ministry's web site, Dr Ali Ibrahim Al Houssani, acting undersecretary of the ministry, told Khaleej Times recently.

Translating the country's laws into English has become an urgent need, particularly since there are expatriates of more than 200 nationalities speaking various languages in the country, Dr Al Houssani said. (Zawiya)
