Translation in a digital world

From hieroglyphs to Word

The word "translation" holds the key to understanding the importance of the process being done. It comes from Latin, and directly translated it means "to bring, or to take with you". In other words, you must take the meaning and content with you, so that all parties have a common understanding of what the text in question contains.

Translator services were actually common in the prehistoric societies of the Middle East, as at this time there were ever larger and more kingdoms that traded with each other. This led to a need to be able to communicate across languages. The Rosetta Stone, which is now in the British Museum, is clear evidence that translation existed and was used in ancient Egypt.

The really great need for translation became seriously visible during the advance of data and the Internet. The Internet has revolutionized access to information and the need to understand this information which is not always available in our own written language. We can easily find texts and information from other countries, the meaning of which we want or need to understand. In other words, it is the need for sharing knowledge, information, information and contracts that has driven growth in the industry to the heights we see today. The size of the industry is currently valued at $33.5 billion (278 billion NOK) and Europe accounts for 49% of this turnover. There are currently 195 countries in the world, where over 7,000 languages ​​are spoken, and with the emergence of a more global society, and the flow of information across these borders, the need for this service is constantly increasing.

Salita is even the result of many years of development and evolution. We follow in a long chain of a group of translation companies that have made the rise of today's modern society possible. It must be said that this development would have occurred regardless, but it is reasonable to believe that this would have been slower without this profession.
