Summary
Translation is such a bridge that across language and culture. Its role can be seen in various areas such as science, entertainment, and even education. It is in line with Bassnett who states that translation has a crucial role to play in aiding understanding of an increasingly fragmentary world (2002, p.1). People of across cultural background cannot build a communication well. One of the role of translation can be seen in the bilingual textbook.
