    Translations is a three-act play by Irish playwright Brian Friel, written in 1980. It is set in Baile Beag, a Donegal village in 19th century agricultural Ireland. Friel has said that Translations is "a play about language and only about language", but it deals with a wide range of issues, stretching from language and communication to Irish history and cultural imperialism. Friel responds strongly to both political and language questions in modern-day Northern Ireland. He said that his play "should have been written in Irish" but, despite this fact, he crafted carefully the verbal action in English which makes the dynamics of the play come alive, and brings its political questions into true focus. Baile Beag is a fictional village, created by Friel as a setting for several of his plays, although there are many real places called Ballybeg throughout Ireland.

Examples of translations in a Sentence

  1. Anthony Bourdain:

    From my privileged vantage point, I've encountered a lot of extraordinary people with exciting things to say. This is a chance to get those voices heard. We look forward to publishing an unusual mix of new authors, existing works, neglected or under-appreciated masterworks, and translations of people from elsewhere who we think are just too damned brilliant not to be available in English.

  2. Prime Minister Enda Kenny:

    His mythical stories from Ballybeg reached all corners of the world from Dublin to London to Broadway and onto the silver screen, all of his plays, including' Translations',' Faith Healer',' Philadelphia, Here I Come !' and' Dancing at Lughnasa', will forever form part of the canon of greatness in dramatic writing.

  3. Lewis Lapham:

    Money is like fire, an element as little troubled by moralizing as earth, air and water. Men can employ it as a tool or they can dance around it as if it were the incarnation of a god. Money votes socialist or monarchist, finds a profit in pornography or translations from the Bible, commissions Rembrandt and underwrites the technology of Auschwitz. It acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is put.

  4. Ramzi Binalshibh:

    I have some problem to get the translations, complete translations, so I have my interpreter, Mr. Louay Al-Nazer. But the problem is I cannot trust him because he was working at the black site with the CIA and we know him from there.

  5. Nelson Piquet:

    I would never use the word I have been accused of in some translations, i strongly condemn any suggestion that the word was used by me with the aim of belittling a driver because of his skin color […] Discrimination has no place in F1 or society and I am happy to clarify my thoughts in that respect.
