And also presumed that the science of translation we need to implement so as to bring the progress of FBS and the world of linguistics or language in general.
Dr. Rudy Sofyan told his presentation, “If you want a bespoke translation or the best quality, you have to come to a professional translator and pay as needed. I have never done a translation that is as cheap, fast and inaccurate as it comes from a corner store. My translations are all custom-made; made for measuring; bespoke; best quality, very fitting, interesting to look at, comfortable and easy to use”.
Yogas Ardiansyah as the second speaker said in his presentation, “what the translator must master is to be able to understand the source language, theory and techniques of translators, write in the target language and then build relationships of editors, publishers, networks of translators and spur creativity in the opportunity to transfer the latest rides and products”.
