Due to globalization translation has become more vital than it has ever been in human life for the transmission of human knowledge and communication. In this paper I argue, by means of an analytical and deductive approach that it is literal translation in particular that is gaining pace. The aim of translation has become that of speed and cost-effectiveness, which resulted in numerous translation errors. The increase of literal translation can also be attributed to the global impact of the Lingua Franca-language of the global village.
