Select Speeches of Mrs. Indira Gandhi -
English to Tamil
M.Phil. Dissertation

J. Abiraami, M.A., M.Phil.

1. INTRODUCTION

Indira Gandhi
Indira Gandhi

Language is an important criterion for human civilization. For effective language and literary communication, translation plays a vital role in between two languages. The importance of translation has been accepted by every one in the modern world. The art of translation is not an organised academic discipline in its own right; not merely a minor branch of comparative literacy study, not yet a specific area of linguistics, but a vastly complex field with many far-reaching ramifications. The introduction attempts to define what really a translation means, followed by a few scholarly views on translation and proceeds to probe into various factors such as the feasibility and creditability of translation. I have also added a note on the indispensable need for translation in the modern world.

Translation is generally, the replacement of a representation of a text in one language by a representation of an equivalent text in a second language. The art of translation lies not only in translating the literal sense of one language into another, but also translating also the feelings and thoughts of the work, so that the finished translation is equal in quality to that of the original. A good translation conveys the fine distinctions of meaning, feeling, tone, sound, style and diction of the original. The translation involves two languages – One from which the message is translated and the other into which it is translated. The first is called the source language (SL) and the second is called the Target language (TL).
