<p>The translation of a language into another one has always pursued the aim to incorporate, for whatever reason it may be, a work belonging to a certain language and culture into the translator's language and culture; the accuracy with which this task is done has changed a great deal in the course of the centuries: it has become more rigorous eventually, so that this excess of rigour has ended up by ruining the translator's normal purposes, that's to say, to get either .the readers or the audience to understand the work's deep, last content.

Jordi Teixidor comments on every contribution on the debate and infers that the government of the Generalitat does not want any Law of Drama, but it prefers to rule by decree, and that is a characteristic of the right. A Law of Drama means to have fixed some middle or longterm aims, whereas till now the dramatic policy of the Conselleria has not even been defined and, in oder to control drama, it prefers to play the part of Maecenas.</p>...
