6:45And in your view, why we do this, and what do you pay special attention to? Is it the dialogue? Is it the, if the language is archaic or more modern? What is it that you think makes an outstanding translation?

Manik SarkarGUEST
I think what you said about, for example, is the language archaic or not? For example, the Argentinian writer Borges, I have an old translation from him.

Manik SarkarGUEST
and I read that book maybe four or five times in the span of a few years when I was younger because I just adored it.

Manik SarkarGUEST
And then a new translation came out, which was much more modern, and the language was probably, I don't know, it was more of this time.
