Examining terms and how to translate and finding equivalents for them is one of the challenging issues in translation technology. Attention to Arabic terms started in the fourth century of Hijri and was a result of the formation of the translation movement and its growing trend from Persian and Greek languages to the Arabic language. Different knowledge was transferred to the Arabic language through translation, and in this context, the issue of translation of terms became important.
