The present paper investigates Arabic built-in-language repetition that the researchers select from speeches delivered by the late president of Egypt Jamal Abdul Nasser, and the frequency of this phenomenon. The sample consists of 16 examples taken from chosen speeches. To ensure maximum accuracy, the researcher enlists the help of a professional translator to translate the study’s samples. The study aims at detecting and shedding some light on translation’s problems that the translator face when translating political texts. The results of the study indicate that built-in-language repetition exists in the Arabic translated text, and the use of repetition, in general, is more frequent in Arabic. The results also suggest that the translator should be fully aware of the Arabic and English linguistic systems as well as its culture to be able to convey the proper meaning.
