Bible Translation
Bible Translation is the task of translating the contents of the Bible from a source language into a distinct destination language. A good Bible translation is accurate to the original autographs (Hebrew and Greek texts) while communicating the meaning of the original authors in a natural and clear way. This process can take many years, and may even involve creating new alphabets for unwritten languages. Notable Bible translators include William Tyndale, William Carey, and Martin Luther.
