Translation studies

Christina Schäffner
Table of contents

Translation and interpreting have existed for many centuries. The earliest reports date from 3000 BC in ancient Egypt and are naturally on interpreting, the oral mode of delivery; this predates translation, which came into being with the development of writing systems. One of the oldest forms of evidence of translation is the Rosetta stone which dates from 196 BC and has inscriptions in Egyptian hieroglyphics, Egyptian demotic characters and in Greek.
