WHAT IS TRANSLATION?
Words are much more than a string of symbols and sounds. They are dynamic, living mirrors of a given culture, field, discipline... even of a particular person. Translation is therefore much more than simply choosing an equivalent from the list found in a dictionary: It is the act of building a bridge between cultures, disciplines, people, etc.
The key to a successfull translation lies in the ability to accurately convey the original message to the target audience, observing the nuances and characteristics that are specific to each type of text and minding cultural differences. Having command of a foreign language is not in itself enough to undertake such an important task.
Look at it this way: Would you entrust your car to a mechanic who has never received formal education nor accreditation in the matter?
