View More The following article is the first of a series which will examine some of the problems of the Venda translation, with particular concern for the lack of equivalent components of meaning in Venda and the source languages. The articles in this series are taken from Dr. van Rooy’s doctoral thesis entitled Language and Culture in the Communication of the Christian Message as Illustrated in the Venda Bible and presented to the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education in February 1971. Although the terminology is not always as simple as we should like for the Practical series of TBT, the ideas are quite clearly applicable in numerous African situations and the article is presented here in the hope that translators in African languages will examine critically their translations at these points. -Ed.
