Default Have You Ever Tried The Art Of Translation?

HI,

Have you ever tried the art of translation? Have you ever tried to translate a text, an article, short story, novels? Is it easy to make translations? Which is easier: to translate something from a foreign language into your native language or vice versa?

I have often translated texts but I have concluded that even if somenone knows a foreign language does not necessary means that s/he is a good translator. For me, it is easier to translate a text from my native language into a foreign language ( English ) but when I have to translate something in my native language I always have difficulties. Even though I can understand the whole text, I have difficulties in translation.
If you have an opinion about translation or experience with translation then feel free and share it with us.
