Discussing the book launch, H.E. Abdullah Hamdan bin Dalmook stated, "'Al Mutawasif' was very first published in 2014, and became quickly popular, flying off the racks in no time. The book is regarded as being special since it brings to life popular proverbs and phrases from various parts of the UAE, providing it much historic value. The book was prepared in partnership with a number of knowledgeable scientists in order to ensure credibility of material, and takes a fascinating appearance at how regional dialects in the UAE have evolved with time. By making it available in English, we intend making the book easily accessible to all non-Arabic speakers who want discovering more about the rich history and deep-rooted heritage of the UAE.".

"Spreading Emirati culture and heritage to a broad cross-cultural audience is at the heart of the founding vision of HHC. The translation movement has a vital part to play in facilitating this vision by moving the rich heritage of the UAE to non-Arabic speakers. The translation of 'Al Mutawasif' into English supplies those strange with the Arabic language a chance to discover about Emirati sayings and aphorisms, and is a further expression of HHC's commitment to promote broad awareness of the UAE's cultural heritage and identity," he added.

Along with the English translation of "Al Mutawasif", the HHC structure at the book fair also saw the main launch of 3 new titles published by the Center.
