So, let&#8217;s dig into some more examples of the importance of translators in ancient days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tower_of_Babel\"><\/span><strong>Torre de Babel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cAnd the LORD&nbsp;said: Look, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.

It helped the Jewish Diaspora that couldn\u2019t understand Hebrew anymore to easily recite the Scripture in a language they knew. The Rosetta stone would be another example of the importance of translators.

In these few subsections, we\u2019ll explore the role of translation in the Middle Ages.
