Translation

Translation could be described as the transmission of a message, through interpretation from one language to another. Peoples have developed congruently in different areas of the world, producing diverse languages ​​and dialects that sometimes overlap and are otherwise completely unsimilar.

With such a wide selection of languages ​​and a strong development in global communication, the need to translate speech and writing between languages ​​grows on an ever-increasing scale. Europe, namely France, Spain and Germany, have close and constant relations with England and the United States, which makes the demand for entities capable of translation enormous. What about the growing demand for Asian people to speak English and the shockingly low rate of English speakers learning Chinese languages? When will that giant gap close? You could say that the Far East could also be the far end of the galaxy for what it’s worth, because when I turn on the Chinese TV channel, it’s like turning on the science fiction channel, because I’m watching an alien race with a very different from them, and a very different and complex language system that is difficult to learn. Business still occurs rampantly between Far Eastern countries such as Japan and China, and major Western entities such as America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. So does this make a good English to Mandarin interpreter cost the same as his weight in gold?

People make a lot of assumptions about the language when trying to translate with the wrong level of comprehension and vocabulary. They often assume a word-for-word approach, where it is most of the time not entirely true and sometimes completely off the mark. I recently tried to start the study of Spanish and got many insightful truths. The structure of the language, although derived primarily from English of the same origins, is simplified through the use of uniform word endings. For example, the way a noun ends, usually with an o or an, normally determines its gender, while the same two vowel endings after a verb indicate its subject. For example: “? speak Spanish?” means: do you speak Spanish? While “ablo espaniol” is the statement: I speak Spanish. I have also searched for textbooks to learn German and found their overall sentence structure to be confusing. They also have a weird way of making all of their nouns conform to a gender system, which dictates that the word be feminine, masculine, or neuter. This is a big initial confusion when trying to learn the basics of a Germanic or Latin language. It’s easy for them since they grew up with it.

So those who learn multiple languages ​​and dialects at an intimate grammatical and literary level can be commended as the challenges are great, considering that the accumulation of vocabulary requires inventiveness to commit to memory. Those who do it are usually somewhat gifted in this area and have to show a keen interest in the subject, constantly making it new to themselves so that boredom does not obstruct the process. The option left to one, when showing a severe lack of aptitude for languages, is to seek the services of a trained and professional language interpreter to handle the difficult task at hand.
