Answer: There are numerous advantages and disadvantages to translating historic documents into different languages. One benefit is that the document can now be viewed by a larger audience and is more wide spread. However, a drawback would be that some parts of the document could be lost through the translation process. Through the translation process, some words could be lost making it difficult to read and understand. Similarly, context could be lost through the translation process. Translating from one language to another also changes the culture and context of the document. After being translated, some pieces of the document may be difficult to understand because of the different cultures.
