Abstract
In this paper, the researcher initiates a long-term project dedicated to the history and theory of translation, especially as it pertains to the situation in Southeast Asia and the Kingdom of Thailand in particular. Salient issues and questions are best initially addressed in a comparative framework showing how the work of translation has evolved in particularly historically crucial periods and under certain conditions. The conclusion stresses the need to address what “tools” are needed for translations in the epoch of globalization in brief compass.
