Essentially, Benjamin alters the past theoretical discourse to a new way of understanding translation. While in the past translation was concerned with the re-transmission of information, Benjamin elevates translation to become a form of art. According
Language is a tool of communication for making a relationship between nations and between people from the same or different countries. There are two kinds of meanings in the language which are: literal and figurative. The literal meaning is the direct meaning of words.

The importance of “cultural resonance” has also
Literature Review: In Translation studies, among the three the one type of translation studies is Interlingual translation (it means translation from one language to another retaining the sense).
