This 12 page report discusses Irish playwright Brian Friel’s work
“Translations.” In it, he tells the story of the British to
dominate all of Irish culture and heritage by translating and
changing ancient Gaelic names of villages and towns into English.
Many drama critics, social commentators, and literary historians
have described it a “metaphor” or a parable of the struggles in
Northern Ireland regarding the British, cultural assimilation,
and the determination to maintain a separate and unique identity.
Friel demonstrates that the translation of language was no simple
exercise in words and the use of one language over another, it
was the beginning of an institutionalized encouragement of
cultural ambivalence that had become one of the means by which
the English were determined to eradicate uniquely Irish thinking.
