“Welcome to the world of translation—a compromised world of half-rights and half-wrongs.”
Douglas Robinson, Becoming A Translator: An Accelerated Course

“Translation theorized as a purely technical and linguistic matter, concerned with the transfer of meanings from one language to another, not associated with political issues of domination,submission, assimilation and resistance.”
Douglas Robinson

“Translating’ property is more than an ideology of conquest. It is a clash of cultures, ideologies that demonstrates the difficulty of translation.The colonists benefit from the encounter with the Indians but it is disturbing and daunting.”
Douglas Robinson
