KUALA LUMPUR: Knowledge is golden and the bridge to that knowledge is reading.
Today’s information-seeking ecosystem has changed the way people read, with developments in digital technology diversifying the ways reading materials are presented and accessed.
From physical books to electronic publications, reading materials – for both scholarly and casual reading – have evolved with time.
Nevertheless, the availability of interesting reading materials in only certain languages can pose a challenge to those unfamiliar with the languages even though they have online translation applications at their disposal.
Malaysian Institute of Translation and Books (ITBM) chief executive officer Sakri Abdullah said publications written in foreign languages need to be translated professionally in order to convey accurate information to readers.
