Why do we need translation

Now the question is that why do we need translation.  As we see that with the advancement of technology this world has become too small.  A lot of developments are taking place. People of any corner of the earth are reaching/approaching  any other corner of the world for any field. Earlier it was only literature which was required to be translated as it was not easy to approach people on the other corner of the earth but now no field of life has been left which need no communication with the people of other language.  It is literature, international relations of various governments, business, industry, finance, law, internet, science and many more.   In fact, we see that there is no country where people of the other countries are not present.  But the problem is that of language.  It is a barrier.  How shall we communicate.  There are more than 6900 languages and dialects in the world.  Even in India itself there are 22 official languages and 1652 spoken languages which make a wide gap in communication.  And here comes the role of a translator or an interpreter who facilitates the communication between people of different languages.   The difference between the two is that  a translator fulfills the need of those who need to know what is written in the document/paper/letter/book and so on and the interpreter facilitates the two people who are talking to each other in two different languages.

In fact, since the earth has become a global village and the various countries of the world interact with each other with regard to international relations, whether for political reasons, technological reasons, business, science,  and what not.  How would they do that? 

This is the translator and the interpreter who facilitates in the fields.  And since this need is growing day by day with more and more developments that are taking place all over the world, this is becoming an industry.  And thus, the people, who want to join this industry,  must know not only the very basic thing of translation that is -  the two languages, but many other things which I will explain in my later posts.
