Translation is one of the most demanding and intellectually difficult tasks. It is connected with translation either as an action or as a result of an action. It is an act of transferring meaning from one language to another taking into account a number of constraints. Translation helps students to understand the connection between languages and explores the potential of both of them. In addition, since it is a natural act and because it deals with language, it is a skill that must be developed. Their knowledge about its history will give them an idea about its process and appreciate its significance in the teaching pedagogy.
