History of Translation and Interpreting

The History of Translation and Interpreting dates back to the first use of language. Every act of communication is an act of translation.

Indeed, the history of translation can be approached from different perspectives. One way of looking at it is through considering its development as a human activity in each region of the world and comparing it to the other regions. Thus, each civilization will have its own history. This kind of research can be narrowed down by studying the history of translation in every country of the world to see its contribution in the development of the overall translation movement which is bridging the gap between the different cultures and peoples.

Therefore, we may have to explore the history of translation by looking at its development in:

The Western World
The Eastern World
The Arab World
