Dr Johnson says ‘translation involves the process of change into another language, relating to sense’. By nature it is multilingual and interdisciplinary. It borrows on many languages, linguistics, communication studies, philosophy and a wide range of cultural subjects. Because of this diversity it offers a difficulty and a challenge at the same. This paper aims at practical introduction to the field. An attempt is made to give critical yet balanced survey of select trends and contributions to translation study as an introductory course material. Students are encouraged to further exploration and take a call on translation issues. The aim is to enable the reader to develop their understanding and begin to apply the models themselves. The Theories and models are chosen on the basis of their strong following. Exclusion of much worthy materials is due to the scope and other constrains limiting a distance mode. A comprehensive bibliography is added at the end of the book. A major issue has been the choice of languages for the texts used in illustrative case studies. There are examples or texts from English, Hindi and Marathi. The focus is on theoretical issues. English is not, and thus cannot convincingly be referred to as a part of our heritage. Yet is not this in itself a challenge? We have adopted English as administrative language to conduct state affairs. We use it as a medium of instruction at higher level of education. We are global citizen. We accept principle of unity in diversity in our national policy. Many of our leaders in politics and literature are not only bilingual but polyglots.
