All acts of communication are acts of translation. The simple act of transferring information from a sender to a recipient is already translation, because the message can be affected by a huge range of things, including our emotions, the cultural situation, the medium used to communicate, and even our location. Accurate, effective and unambiguous communication is actually extremely hard.

And translation is translation for the second time.

Since the word is a metaphor for the object, translation can be defined as an act of transformation that adapts a new metaphor to the original metaphor.

Needless to say how big of a responsibility a translator has.

This is why a professional translator is an invaluable asset. Only a qualified translator can ensure to provide translations of the highest quality, accurately conveying the intended message without any ambiguity or confusion, having a deep understanding of linguistic and cultural nuances, which play a vital role in effective communication.
