Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. Whereas interpreting undoubtedly antedates writing, translation began only after the appearance of written literature; there exist partial translations of the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh (ca. 2000 BCE) into Southwest Asian languages of the second millennium BCE.
Translators always risk inappropriate spill-over of source-language idiom and usage into the target-language translation. On the other hand, spill-overs have imported useful source-language calques and loanwords that have enriched the target languages. Indeed, translators have helped substantially to shape the languages into which they have translated.
Due to the demands of business documentation consequent to the Industrial Revolution that began in the mid-18th century, some translation specialties have become formalized, with dedicated schools and professional associations.
Because of the laboriousness of translation, since the 1940s engineers have sought to automate translation (machine translation) or to mechanically aid the human translator (computer-assisted translation). The rise of the Internet has fostered a world-wide market for translation services and has facilitated language localization.

By Shawn Khorassani, Business Development Director of language services provider Prestige Network
Supporting the legal sector with legal translation and legal interpreting services takes many forms – from working with litigation attorneys and solicitors at court hearings, patent hearings, and fraud cases, to helping out in personal injury claims and matrimonial arbitration to legal document translating services and court transcripts.
Meryem Skinner, Operations Manager at Berkshire-based Prestige Network (with specific responsibility for the legal division), said: “We have always seen the provision of our services to the legal profession as a very important part of what we do. Different skills are employed in the translation of a legal document to those used in supporting an international arbitration case and we ensure that translators and interpreters are hand picked to suit specific tasks.

Football Match of the Year!
Prestige Network sponsored a Challenge Football Match at St Gabriel’s School in Newbury on Friday 3rd October. The game, between teachers and parents, was for two 30 minute sessions. Decked in Prestige Network football kit, the team of parents pitched their David Beckham-like skills against the St Gabriel’s School Teachers. This contest of the year was watched by an excited crowd of parents, school children and other members of St Gabriel’s School. Competition was fierce, with neither side wanting to concede to defeat. However, the outcome was inevitable with the final score ending at 2-1 in favour of the parents.
