Abstract
This book provides a historic account of the translator's role and impact. In the course of time translators invented alphabets, contributed to the creation of languages and gave form to national literature. They also played a role in the diffusion of knowledge and religious propaganda and they imported and exported cultural values, thus having a major impact on the evolution of society and intellectual activities.
