Abstract:

Does translated information give a reader the same sense as it is in original matter? What is the importance of translation and why should we translate? The article deals with the Telugu-English translation difficulties that result from differences in word order between the syntax of the two languages.  It shows that translating sentences from one language to another language is a failure foolproof because a reader does not catch real sense and feel in translated matter. Sentences from Telugu language most of the times present the subject in the beginning whereas in English it may be started with a subject or adjunct or adverb or sometimes with a conjunction. For reasons of length and simplicity, this article deals only with declarative clauses. It focuses on problems of translation and gives some suggestions for good translation from one language to another language.
