I think that most people take French for granted. I mean, I know that we don’t all speak French, but I still find it a little bit hard to understand. But I am always looking for new books to translate so I could have them read in French and find out what you think of the translations.
The French language has a huge amount of books and languages, so if you have something that is a bit difficult in one language but something that is easy in another language, there’s probably a translation that you’ll like. For example, I have a collection of English books that are in French but I’m not sure I could translate them. I think that it’s a bit of a challenge, and I’m also really lazy.
A quick search on Book Translation will show you lots of books translated to English, but not everything is really easy, and of course, there are a lot of books that are just plain difficult. For example, I have some books that are in French but have no translation and Im not sure if I can even read them.
I know that a lot of people who are into book translation, or at least wish to, are very lazy and don’t finish the job. This is especially the case with the translation of the original language texts into the new language. In contrast, it’s quite possible to translate the original English text into French and back and have your book come out in your native language.
Well, it’s quite possible not to finish your translation, but it is quite possible to finish and get a new translation of a book. And in fact, there might be some books that you have never seen and that are now in a new translation. For example, the original English text for the book “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (which I think is the most awesome book ever) is in French today.
French text into English and back and have the new French version of your book come out in your native language. Yes, it is possible. When I was in college and we had to translate the text of a book for a study group, our professor had us write in the book each day, but also in French or English. I have not done this myself, but I imagine it is a great way to learn how the language works and is used.
As it turns out, my French is far from perfect and I have a couple French books that have slipped between the cracks. But I still think that the French text of Holmes’ book should be accessible to all, and I hope the new English version is so.
It could be worse. So many of our language textbooks are pretty difficult to read, so it’s a good idea to put them through a translator before you buy them.
A lot of books are in English translation, but you can also go the other way. If you’re not sure what a particular word means, try reading it in French. If you have a native speaker, you can ask them to read it for you. I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Of course, you also can also look at our site, or Google translate, to get a rough translation for any given word. There are about 20 different languages in French, so it can get confusing sometimes.
