Abstract

In the history of Iran, three periods of translation movement have been observed, which led to a scientific and civilizational movement in the Sassanid and Abbasid periods, but the Qajar translation movement did not reach the desired result. The scientific movement in the Abbasid period, by gathering human knowledge, at the beginning of the third century of Hijri, along with Islamic education and sciences, provided the foundation for the formation of the great Islamic civilization. Examining the policy and identifying the weak and strong points of the previous movements can show the solutions to face the current problems of Iran and define a new policy for the scientific movement. The question is, what are the requirements of translation according to the teachings of the previous movements and what solutions can be defined in this regard? In this article, the past scientific movements were examined in a descriptive-analytical method, and the requirements of the field of translation and the field of science publication were extracted for the realization of the new Islamic-Iranian civilization. Previous movements had a similar process, which includes the stage of feeling the need, the stage of elementary or education, the stage of translation movement and the stage of flourishing or civilization. The requirements of the translation include the establishment of a translation organization, the allocation of sufficient funds, the selection of books and translators, the protection of the Persian language, the accuracy and revision of the translation, the vigilance against being translated, and the continuity of the translation
