"[B]oth illiberal currents of the modern Middle East," writes de Bellaigue, "Islamism and militarism, received a major impetus from Western empire-builders.

[140][141] Due to the prominence of English as a source language, the use of pseudonyms and pseudotranslations became common in countries such as Italy[136] and Hungary,[142] and English has often been used as a vehicular language to translate from languages such as Chinese and Japanese. Translators, including monks who spread Buddhist texts in East Asia, and the early modern European translators of the Bible, in the course of their work have shaped the very languages into which they have translated. In addition, professional and amateur singers often sing works in languages they do not know (or do not know well), and translations are then used to enable them to understand the meaning of the words they are singing.

[48], Often the source language is the translator's second language, while the target language is the translator's first language. [12], Strictly speaking, the concept of metaphrase—of "word-for-word translation"—is an imperfect concept, because a given word in a given language often carries more than one meaning; and because a similar given meaning may often be represented in a given language by more than one word. Jerome's colorful Vulgate translation of the Bible includes some crucial instances of "overdetermination". 3.

"[25], Chinese verbs are tense-less: there are several ways to specify when something happened or will happen, but verb tense is not one of them. In the past, the sheikhs and the government had exercised a monopoly over knowledge. [2], Because of the laboriousness of the translation process, since the 1940s efforts have been made, with varying degrees of success, to automate translation or to mechanically aid the human translator. As a language evolves, texts in an earlier version of the language—original texts, or old translations—may become difficult for modern readers to understand. In view of the frequent inaccuracy of machine translations, human translation remains the most reliable, most accurate form of translation available. [7][8][a][9] The remaining Slavic languages instead calqued their words for "translation" from an alternative Latin word, trāductiō, itself derived from trādūcō ("to lead across" or "to bring across")—from trans ("across") + dūcō, ("to lead" or "to bring"). The lion dance is usually performed during the Chinese New Year and other Chinese traditional, cultural and religious festivals.

The sea can reflect the sky with its moving stars, shifting clouds, gestations of the moon, and migrating birds—but ultimately the sea is not the sky. Most of the translators cited in Eliot Weinberger's 19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei supply a subject. "Formal equivalence" corresponds to "metaphrase", and "dynamic equivalence" to "paraphrase". In the 13th century, Roger Bacon wrote that if a translation is to be true, the translator must know both languages, as well as the science that he is to translate; and finding that few translators did, he wanted to do away with translation and translators altogether. [12] A greater problem, however, is translating terms relating to cultural concepts that have no equivalent in the target language. It had come to include virtually any intellectual production anywhere in the world." Arabic, and to a lesser degree Persian, became important sources of material and perhaps of techniques for revitalized Western traditions, which in time would overtake the Islamic and oriental traditions. There is the option in prose sung texts, less so in verse, of adding or deleting a syllable here and there by subdividing or combining notes, respectively, but even with prose the process is almost like strict verse translation because of the need to stick as closely as possible to the original prosody of the sung melodic line. Weinberger points out, however, that when an "I" as a subject is inserted, a "controlling individual mind of the poet" enters and destroys the effect of the Chinese line.

The translator's special role in society is described in a posthumous 1803 essay by "Poland's La Fontaine", the Roman Catholic Primate of Poland, poet, encyclopedist, author of the first Polish novel, and translator from French and Greek, Ignacy Krasicki: [T]ranslation... is in fact an art both estimable and very difficult, and therefore is not the labor and portion of common minds; [it] should be [practiced] by those who are themselves capable of being actors, when they see greater use in translating the works of others than in their own works, and hold higher than their own glory the service that they render their country.[21].

[115] Play translators must also take into account several other aspects: the final performance, varying theatrical and acting traditions, characters' speaking styles, modern theatrical discourse, and even the acoustics of the auditorium, i.e., whether certain words will have the same effect on the new audience as they had on the original audience.

Book-title translations can be either descriptive or symbolic. For other uses, see, "Translator" redirects here. Viewed in this light, it is a serious misconception to assume that a person who has fair fluency in two languages will, by virtue of that fact alone, be consistently competent to translate between them.

Chaucer founded an English poetic tradition on adaptations and translations from those earlier-established literary languages. '"[72], It is due to the inescapable necessity of interpretation that – pace the story about the 3rd century BCE Septuagint translations of some biblical Old Testament books from Hebrew into Koine Greek – no two translations of a literary work, by different hands or by the same hand at different times, are likely to be identical.
