The tangible outcome of the translation process is a text rendered in a target language. This resultant text conveys the meaning of the original source material. For example, when a novel written in Spanish is translated into English, the finished work is an English-language novel communicating the same narrative and themes as the original.
This translated work holds considerable value. It facilitates cross-cultural communication, making information accessible to a wider audience. Historically, translation has played a crucial role in disseminating knowledge, fostering international trade, and promoting understanding between diverse societies. Its availability bridges linguistic barriers, empowering individuals and organizations to engage with global content.
