Translation is not just a process; it is a communion between two minds – the translator and the author. Like poetry, it is difficult to comprehend ‘translation’. The most pertinent question that has always puzzled the writers and translators is whether translation is art, or craft or science. Theodore Savory considers it as an art. Eric Jacobsen contemplates it as a craft but Nida defines it as a science. The present paper explores the relevance of translation in today’s world in its diachronic and synchronic perspectives. The first section defines translation; the second explores the history of Indian tradition of translation studies, the third describes the synchronic study of translations and relevance of translation at present time; and the fourth concludes the discussion.
