Nayagarh (3/5):The translation is like a two-edged sword. So translators have to be very careful while translating. To be a good translation, the translator must be proficient in the original language as well as in the source language. Dinesh Mali, a nationally renowned translator, said the role of translators was crucial in spreading culture and literature.
