Language is the skill created in order to communicate with others. In the essay “Translating Translation: Finding the Beginning” by Alberto Alvaro Rios, the author demonstrates his interpretation of language and translation. In “Learning to Read and Write” by Frederick Douglass he explain his own hardships in trying to learn to communicate. Rios focuses more on translations of language, while Douglass expands on the struggle to learn the language. In both essays, the authors give their own experience with communication.

Language and literacy has to be the most powerful tool that a human can carry within themselves. It’s the way a human expresses themselves. The actions that they bring up with their language carries the culture of the person they are and where they come from. Now for me language and literacy come in a form that was out of the ordinary for myself. I come from a household that the english language is very rare, to speak in front of my parents. The language and literacy that is hold between the walls of my house and spoken in the most throughout the house is the beautiful language that my familia (family) speaks which is spanish. As in most mexican family households the family is quite big, but my family is quite small. I'm the smallest

Most Chinese who visited the dental office can rarely speak English. I interpreted for them about their appointment, information that needed to be filled out. Sometimes, I translated for them when they need to communicate with the dentist. One day, a parent brought her son to the dental office and she only understood a few words in English. I was at lunch time when she visited the dental office. Unfortunately, none of the front desk clerks besides me could speak Chinese. Therefore, they called me and asked for help with the translation. Later, I assisted the parent to fill out documents and interpreted the dentist’s suggestion for her. I acted as a bridge during the conversation between the parent and dentist. I knew the important role of being an interpreter because it required the deep comprehension in both English and Chinese. If I made any mistake during the dialogue, it can lead to enormous effects which might influence the patient’s

In this modern world, learning a new language is a huge endeavor in a person’s life. In order for someone to learn a new language, it is necessary for them to learn the language structure, its phonemes, facial expressions, word collocations, and other detail aspects related to learning a language. When communicating with someone that can fluently speak the language you are trying to learn, talking to them may be a challenge because it takes awhile for someone who is foreign with the language to find the right words to properly express the message you are trying to convey. When learning the English language, I usually focus on learning words through images and books. I hardly ever translate the words to or from my language because

The other problem is unfamiliarity with political concepts, terms and expressions which lead to difficulty in choosing the proper lexical item in the target language. This aggress with Newmark (1988) who pointed out that the main difficulties in translation are lexical and the competent difficulties are divided into two kinds: not understanding and finding it hard to understand. This leads to mistranslation.

Communication is essential to success. This area of the text explores the issues that arise when similarly sounding phrases, tone of voice, and content are lost in translation.

“In today era, the basic knowledge of a single or more language has become crucial. Language has become the major tool of communication between countries, cultural groups, varies companies and organizations, communities and friends” (Banga & Suri 181)

There are many different languages spoken across the world and thus, the possibility of misunderstanding is great. “It is important to appreciate that long with language, significant communication

“What is the best thing about translating? Translators are independent, they are their own masters and they can choose what to translate or where to work.”

Finally, Nord concludes how conventions and functionalism can be applied in translation teaching. In the past, there was no systematic teaching method. Translators are implicitly taught about regulative and constitutive conventions of translation prevailing in their respective cultures by practicing, and without hearing or learning the concept of conventions. Therefore, it takes long time for them to internalize the conventions in the cultures they are working with. Nord believes that a systematic and structured way to convey the concept of conventions in different cultures would be very helpful to future translators. Ideas of regulative and constitutive conventions of translation can be made in crystal clear by using all five approaches mentioned before. When concrete description of conventions in particular cultures is yet to be established, seeking for the translation complying with the norm of functionality is relatively easier for both translation students and teachers. It is suggested that translators first give an exhaustive and precise explanation of the purpose and function for the target text. Then, utilize translation strategies that correspond to the translation instructions. As a result, the functions required by the target situations should be achieved, and the form of the translation should conform to the target culture conventions of the requested text

Zabalbeascoa (1996), a Translation Studies lecturer, referred to translation as a communicative act, and a human and social activity. He believed since they are not perfect, translation is also considered imperfect (as cited in Soler Pardo, 2013, p. 5).

Translators are literary ambassadors, bringing a foreign work to the audience of the target language. Choosing to translate His Excellency, The Ambassador, by Ghazzi AlQussaibi, was my primary pick for its popularity among Arab readers around the world. Some critics claim that the novel is actually a true story of an Arab politician, who was a close friend of the author. The author was actually a political figure for most of his life, we find almost all of his novels were centered on the life and work of politicians. When I started to translate this novel, I faced several obstacles ranging from linguistic, cultural, and political challenges.

The translation ethics proposed by Berman places focus on converting “self” through communicating with others. With the purpose of pursuing cultural diversity and protruding language and cultural differences within source text, American structuralism translation theorist, Lwerene Venuti, proposed an assertion of promoting cultural renewal and transformation, which is called “ethics of difference” (1998). Anthony Pym addressed the issue of inter-subject responsibility and power and provided the concept of “interculturality” (2001). Then, Andrew Chesterman put forward “five models” on translation ethics from the perspective of interpersonal and intercultural communication, which includes ethics of representation, ethics of service, ethics of communication, norm-based ethics, ethics of commitment (2001). Systematically and thoroughly summarized previous studies (Chen, 2012), Chesterman’s theory has brought translation research up to a new level (Guo, 2014), among which, ethics of communication, places extra emphasis on communicative functions of languages and interpersonal communication (2001) with the aim to improve relationships between source

“Translators have to prove to themselves as to others that they are in control of what they do, that they do not just translate well because they have a “flair” for translation, but rather because, like other professional, they have made a conscious effort to understand various aspects of their work.”

The industry of language translation is gaining momentum quite rapidly than it has fifteen years ago. It has grown to be regarded as one of the most promising career opportunities at this age of digital technology. Businesses and individuals have created a greater and increasingly stable demand for human translators. Linguists now have minimal fear of being saturated in their profession because of a teeming demand for translation projects. The emergence of machine translation and computer-aided translation has helped the industry contrary to some people who deemed these tools as unfavorable, threatening to extinguish human linguists with such technology. It has, in fact, made the human translator an inevitable component of the translation process. Aware of the restrictions and limits of what these tools can do, the human translator is still the one in control of the whole process. Human logic and knowledge cannot be replaced with machines or any other tools. Machines can only interpret data and concept up to a certain degree; they cannot translate concepts. Only the complexities of the human brain can grasp these often technical and difficult processes.
