Translation is a science. Translation is an art. Translation is a craft. Translation is a skill. Translation is an operation. Translation is a language activity. Translation is communicating. Alexander Fraser Tytler(1747-1814): I would therefore describe a good translation to be, That, in which the merit of the original work is so completely transfused into another language, as to be as distinctly apprehended, and as strongly felt, by a native of the country to which that language belongs, as it is by those who speak the language of the original work. J. C. Catford(1965) defined translation as the replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalent textual material in another language. Eugene
