I am proud to be a part of this division of the literary world because translation introduces a person to the world. Without it, you would be limited to the borders of your own country. A great quote I once read, “It is better to have read a great work of another culture in translation than never to have read at all.” Translation gets rid of the cultural barriers and introduces respect, understanding and knowledge of the other; especially for a country as U.A.E where all walks of life live and work here side by side.
