  • Unsurprisingly, the most translated literary work in humankind’s documented history is the Holy Bible. To put things into perspective, the Holy Bible, to date, has been translated into 2932 languages! The information comes from UNESCO’s online database known as the ‘Index Translational’. The database holds information about all the books that have been translated from their source languages to their intended target languages.

  • Translation as a profession has been around for more than 2000 years. The first recorded translation project was the translation of the Old Testament, which was translated into the Greek language. Fast forward to the modern era, and the global market share of the translation industry is on its way to surpassing the $26.2 billion mark!

  • Translation has been and still is the best way to disseminate scientific information.

  • The most commonly used languages in translation projects are Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Polish, Russian, Turkish, and Danish.

  • Unlike popular belief, the most common misconception people have about the Chinese language is that one doesn’t need to use punctuation marks while textually or graphically communicating in traditional as well as simplified Chinese. This is not true. Native Chinese translators have been trying their best to let the world know that Chinese has its fair share of punctuation marks. The only trick is the effective placement of punctuation marks while communicating in Chinese.

  • Words that contain vowels are very tricky to translate, especially when the target language is one of the following vowel-free languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, Tigrinya, and Amharic.

  • According to the professional opinion of linguists associated with the translation sector, Spanish is one of the easiest languages in the world to work with. The reason is simple. Spanish is one of the few languages where everything is written as it sounds. This attribute also makes Spanish one of the easiest languages to learn.
