Translation

Translation and interpreting are among the most ancient professions in the world. They have allowed different cultures to exchange technical or other knowledge, trade, communicate myths and beliefs, educate, as well as entertain for centuries.
Nowadays, the world is more globalised than ever before. Translation and interpreting have become an ordinary component of our everyday lives. Both translators and interpreters aim at being invisible, letting the communication—written or spoken—flow as if no intermediary were present.
This is the reason why many may not notice the translators' significance, and consequently the significance of translation quality.

Translations are found in user guides for your TV, instructions on how to cook pizza, legal contracts, software applications, medicine leaflets, marketing campaigns, information websites, development strategies, government publications, video games, films, and a long list of texts, including the well-known translation of literary works.
