In view of the fact that one can translate without knowing anything about linguistics, even as one can speak a language without being a student of the science of language, many persons have concluded that translation is scarcely even an aspect of applied linguistics. Rather, it has often been regarded only as a more complicated form of talking or writing, in which one decodes from one language and encodes into another. Yet many have affirmed the need for a close relationship of the translation practice with the theory of translation. It is said that a translator who makes no attempt to understand the how behind the translation process is like a driver who has no idea what makes the car move.
