Urdu Translations Of Pakistani Languages In The Quarterly Journal Adbiyaat: An Overview

Abstract

Translation binds not only nations and languages but also civilizations. It promotes novel themes, styles and tastes put into practice by the languages and cultures from the target languages and cultures to enrich its resources and brings a new angle of thought. Pakistan is polylingual country where multiple languages are spoken. The translation decides the internal development of the people's nature and their spontaneous expressions in oracy and literacy and points out the mental co-ordination amongst different peoples. It creates an atmosphere of understanding which in turns paves the way for fraternity, unity and harmony across Pakistan. The three monthly journal “Adbiyaat” was introduced in June 1985 in Pakistan to promote Urdu and translation of diverse Pakistani languages. It is the first journal of Pakistan which gives much importance to inter languages translation in Pakistan. The basic objective of my research is to focus the services rendered by three monthly journal of Academy of Letters “Adbiyaat” in the promotion of translation among different Pakistani languages and literature.
