Translation: An Inevitable Creative Transformation

B. Moses, M.A. (English), M.A. (Journalism), M.Phil.

Some Aspects of Translation

Translation is the act of rendering a text from the source language as a text of the target language. Good translation is a creative transformation. Translation is a continuing process of approximation and will never be a completed project. That is why we always get a good number of translations of many classics.

People have various needs, interests and attractions in this world. So their interest and their knowledge have impacted all fields like literature, music, painting, science, technologies, history, economics, politics, philosophy, mathematics, computer, etc. New ideas and discoveries spring up, and people search for these ideas in works that are translated.

Importance of Translation

The importance of translation lies in the fact that it brings the readers, writers and critics of one nation into contact with those of others not only in the field of literature alone but also in all areas of development such as science, medicine, philosophy, religion, political science, medicine and law, and so on. The translator helps in the cause of nation building. As the translators have to make their translation readable and convey appropriate meaning from the original texts, many translators say that translation is not reproduction but recreation.
