The world is becoming smaller and smaller as the systems of communication and information are developing and becoming more and more sophisticated. In the process of such a rapid exchange of information and for the purpose of improving cultural contacts, one thing is inevitable, and that is "translating." This is why there is a need for competent translators and interpreters. The translator's task is to create conditions under which the source language author and the target language reader can interact with one another. The translator uses the core meaning present in the source text to create a new whole, namely, the target text. A good translator is someone who has a comprehensive knowledge of both source and target languages. A good translator should be familiar with the culture, customs, and social settings of the source and target language speakers. Translator is a writer who formulates ideas in words addressed to readers. The only difference between him and the original writer is that these ideas are the latter's. Another difference is that the work of the translator is even more difficult than that of the artist. The artist is supposed to produce directly his/her ideas and emotions in his/her own language however intricate and complicated his/her thoughts are. The translator's responsibility is much greater, for s/he has to relive the experiences of a different person.
