I WANT TO LEARN

Translation is truly an art, a process much deeper and more complex than simply translating one word into another. When translating a text, you not only need to understand the language, but also deeply understand its semantics and spirit. This requires careful inquiry, analysis and wise judgment.

Each word, each sentence structure in the original language contains specific meanings and nuances. Sometimes, a simple word in one language may not have an exact equivalent in another. That's when you need to use your judgment to find the most suitable expression to convey the correct and complete meaning of the original.

This process is not only a challenge but also a joy and happiness as you gradually understand the language and culture more deeply. And when you find the right expression, you don't just translate, you convey a whole world of meanings, ideas, and cultures from one language to another. That is the power and beauty of the art of translation.
