I agree - I think a case could be made for translating older versions of a language into the latest one, but especially if it's already a translation from a completely different language.
What's news to me is that people in the present are translating old non-English texts into some older form of English - is that true?
- TimTheTinker 5y agoNo, I don't think that's true, unless perhaps there's a tense or other grammatical structure in the source that was present in early modern English but not in present-day English, and they chose to use it for grammatical accuracy. More likely, it's an old translation from the Latin. Many of the translations we have now originate from 150+ years ago.
