Translation is the process of transforming the meaning from source language into target language. Translation is the general term referring to the transfer of ideas or thought from one language (source) to another language (target) whether the language has written or oral form. Translation is a bilingual and a bicultural activity. Formal vs dynamic, communication vs semantic and pragmatic vs textual equivalence are important aspect of translation. While translating source text into target text, the translator encounters many challenges because of the absence of one to one correspondence between two languages. What, how and why some techniques are applied and gaps occur while translating is the core concern of this research.

No two languages are the same. Each and every language has its own structural complexities and semantic restriction. Translation is gain of message than we get loss. In order to loss the meaning, translator or interpretation exploits different techniques or strategies such as deletion, definition, literal translation and so on.
