Translation
Today will be a biannual. It proposes to contribute
to and enrich the burgeoning discipline of Translation
Studies by publishing essays as well as actual translations
from and into Indian languages. Translation Today will
feature full-length articles about translation and translator-related
issues, squibs which throw up a problem or an analytical
puzzle without necessarily providing a solution, review
articles and reviews of translations and of books on
translation, actual translations, Letters to the Editor,
a Quick Translation Today Search and an Index of Translators,
Contributors and Authors. It could in the future add
new sections like Translators' job market, Translation
software market and so on. The problems and puzzles
arising out of translation in general, and translation
from and into Indian languages in particular, receive
greater attention here. However the journal would not
limit itself to dealing with issues involving Indian
languages alone.

Like
grammatical thought which is not new to India, translation
as a category of thought is not new to India and the
developing countries. Many of these multilingual countries
are a translator's dream.
|
| We
seek a spurt in translation activity. |
| We
seek to further the frontiers of Translation studies. |
| We
seek excellence in the translated word. |
