The difference between literal translation and honest translation .
Avoid literal translation which is word by word translation . The distinction between honest translation and literal translation is so

tiny but it is very important . Honesty of translation implies that the translator does his / her best to provide the reader with the soul,

thoughts , feelings and the implied message of the original text of the author . On the other hand , literal translation fails to do and achieve these goals .

The requirements of good translator :
- Mastery of two languages .
- Complete knowledge of the grammar of both languages .
- Understanding the implied meaning of the text .
- The translator should be aware of the author's intention .
- Transfer the message of the text into the target language and produce the same effects .
