Students from the Translation Department Participate as Translators in the Erbil International Exhibition

Fourth-year students from the Translation Department at Cihan University–Erbil, Avista Abbas Abubakir and Noor Pshtiwan Asaad, participated in the Erbil International Specialized Food and Packaging Exhibition, held on November 24–27, 2025, at the Erbil International Fairgrounds. The exhibition featured wide participation from local, regional, and international companies operating in the food industry, packaging technologies, and modern packaging solutions.

The students served as professional translators in the booths of several exhibiting companies. They provided practical translation services between representatives of foreign companies, visitors, and businesspeople, facilitating negotiations, product presentations, and technical and commercial interactions among participants. This role offered the students a valuable opportunity to apply the skills they acquired during their studies in a real-world environment that demands accuracy, quick comprehension, and effective communication. In addition, the students gained exposure to the latest technologies in food manufacturing and packaging innovation.

This experience allowed them to develop a deeper understanding of the specialized terminology used in the sector and broadened their professional horizons in specialized translation.
