The Arabic translation of Lolita was published in Beirut, Lebanon.
Neither the date nor the translator are mentioned in my copy.
Please be informed that the Arabic version, as I found out, is not based on the English original, but on the first and flawed French translation.
I remember seeing a reprint in Morocco, but it contained no additional data as to publication year or translator.
However, I would place its publication date in the '70s or early '80s.
Name of publisher can be provided if required.
 
A. Bouazza.
