Language translation

Language translation is the process of converting a text from one language into another language. The person who does this job is called language translator. For example you might be having an article, book or an interesting content in Kannada language and you might want it in English language. In that case a professional language translator who has the proficiency in both Kannada and English languages can do the translation.

There are about 6900 distinct languages in the world. Each language is different from other with respect to script, meaning, speaking, writing and reading. People of one country will not understand the languages of another country. Each nation has its own culture, heritage etc. When the world is like this, how do the people of one nation understand the publications, books, websites, articles, novels, movies, audio/videos, articles of other nation which is completely in different language? Language translation makes this possible. So now we can understand the importance and need of the language translators. Without language translation, the knowledge will not be spread and will remain confined to a particular geographical area.  Hence language translation is required to expand the knowledge of the people.
