Translation is an important skill and profession which allows individuals throughout the world to communicate with each other. It translates knowledge, conveys and preserves history, advances education, and aids economic development.
Given the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ community around the globe, effective and efficient translation services are critical to the progress, or regress, on many issues. Translation studies bridge the gap between cultures and helps advance mutual understanding and respect.
The academic field of Translation Studies was founded by gay James S. Holmes with his his landmark essay “The Name and Nature of Translation Studies” (1972). However, outside this core field of study, translation has been an important part of the academic community throughout history. For example, the translation of ancient text and scripts brought the works of Greek, Latin, Chinese, and many others to the attention of others. Translation studies are critical to comparative literature. Many of the individuals listed below have been actively involved in this field of study.
Translation Studies deals with the practical experiences of the translator; it also explores from theoretical and methodological perspectives the history and philosophy of translation, as well as current trends in the field.
Domestically, translation services enable the survey of a given population to be more inclusive and reflective of the population as a whole. More individuals can engage in the discussion, which in turn improves the outcome and the probability of an acceptable outcome embraced by everyone.
