Abstract

The purpose of the use of language is for communication and understanding of messages which lead to harmonious cohabitation of people of such environment. A translator and an interpreter are expected to be either bilingual or multilingual
in order to attain success. Efforts have been made by many people to make effective and successful translation such as Bishop Ajayi Crowther and others. Translation is based on the principles of the source language-target language and subject matter. Some people are with the notion that some theories and
principles are the best for translation, but this study observed that no approach is the best, rather the effective translations depend on the reflection, situations and the needs of the people for which they were made.
