Summary/Abstract: With its origins in German culture, the term world literature always implicitly contains translation and does so in a double sense. Firstly, the term as such is a translation from German, and secondly, bigger portion of the literature of the world reaches the readers through translations. In this sense there is no separate emphasis needed to stress the importance of translation to the spread and development of world literature or any other field of knowledge.
