Why Language Translation is Playing an Important Role inthe 21
st
Century
In today’s increasingly global business world, a company that limits itself todoing business in a single country or region is a company not exploring itsfull potential. In order to gain access to a variety of international marketsand expand business, forward thinking companies are relying more andmore onlanguage translationto help market their products and services allover the globe. Language translation is a means of addressing the world, asopposed to just a small corner of it, and its benefits are practicallycountless: companies who adopt this philosophy not only gain access tomore potential clients, they also improve the reputation of theirorganization.Language translation is in no way simple, however. It involves much morethan just taking individual words in the source language and providing theirequivalent in the target language. To do translation right, the translatormust create the equivalent
meaning
, taking different grammatical structuresand cultural peculiarities into account, and perhaps most importantly,language translation requires a feeling for the rhythm inherent to eachlanguage. While a good translation can bring people together, overcomecultural obstacles and communication break-downs, a poor translation willfurther alienate the audience one is trying to reach.The 21
st
century is marked by the unprecedented availability and speed of information. Though we have had the internet since ‘last century’, the 21
st
century promises to continue to tear down borders of communication andinformation and it will do so at an ever faster pace. Language translationplays a crucial role in this global exchange of ideas. Though individuals haveless and less time, they are called upon to address a world which is shrinkingbut whose population is as heterogeneous as ever. More and more of thesepeople around the world have access to their attention and if companies areto get their attention, they must “speak their language” both literally andfiguratively. Of course, it is too much to ask of anyone to master all thelanguages spoken the world over or even just in a select number of countries whose citizens might be clients.
