Resumen
Translation is an indispensable means of human communication. It has been practiced since the beginning of time, and it has been —and is still very much so— part of the luggage carried by travellers, adventurers, exiles, soldiers, or by people crossing boundaries with a different language and culture tucked away in their backpacks.
