Why Translation/Interpretation Studies?
Nowadays, we live in a globalized world, where numerous countries and cultures are connected, whether by commercial or political relations, or merely cultural exchanges. However, there are barriers that often affect such relations. These barriers are mainly linguistic, since these relations and exchanges are often established between countries and people that don’t speak the same language, thus complicating the communication. It is difficult to think of globalization without translation and interpretation.
In a world with over 7000 spoken languages, translation is important because it allows people to communicate and understand each other’s ideas and cultures, without having to learn a second language. Furthermore, even if people know more than one language, we tend to understand and express ourselves better with our native language.
