Stories about life and people are universal, people from all over the world can relate to certain themes such as loss, love, family, aspirations etc. While emotions and thoughts can be universal, languages are not and therefore we’re often unaware of significant literature produced around the world. Translation facilitates a texts ability to reach to a greater number of audiences bringing people and cultures closer.

Translation is a tool that helps us overcome the barriers of language and to be able to connect to people, across national, regional and lingual boundaries helping us understand life and culture without any hindrance.
