UNESCO: Translation, from one world to another

 

Translation, from one world to another
Editorial: To  translate  is  “to  say  almost  the  same  thing”,  in  the  words  of  the  Italian  writer  Umberto  Eco.  A  whole  world  is  contained  in  this  “almost”.  

To  translate is to confront the other, the different, the unknown. It is often the essential prerequisite for those who want to access a universal, multiple, diverse  culture.
