Translation

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. The English language draws a terminological distinction (not all languages do) between translating (a written text) and interpreting (oral or sign-language communication between users of different languages); under this distinction, translation can begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community.

Translation is at best an echo.

George Borrow, Lavengro (1851), Ch. 25, p. 151.

Translation

Translation it is that openeth the window, to let in the light; that breaketh the shell, that we may eat the kernel; that putteth aside the curtain, that we may look into the most Holy place; that removeth the cover of the well, that we may come by the water.

The King James Bible (Authorized Version, 1611), 'The Translators to the Reader'

Translation

Such is our pride, our folly, or our fate,
That few but such as cannot write, translate.

John Denham, To Sir Richard Fanshaw, Upon his Translation of Pastor Fido (1648), line 1.
