Taariikh ahaan, daraasadaha turjumaaddu waxay muddo dheer ahaayeen kuwo qeexaya (sheegida turjubaanada sida loo turjumo), illaa heer in doodda turjumaadda ee aan aheyn mid qeexaya guud ahaan aan loo tixgelin in ay ku saabsan tahay turjumaadda. Markii taariikhyahannada daraasadaha tarjumaaddu ay raadraacaan fikirka hore ee reer galbeedka ee ku saabsan tarjumaadda, tusaale ahaan, waxay inta badan ku bilaabaan bayaanada Cicero ee ku saabsan sida uu u adeegsaday tarjumaadda Giriigga ilaa Laatiin si uu u hagaajiyo awoodiisa khudbadda. Taariikhda sharafta leh ee turjubaanada Masar ee uu bixiyay Herodotus dhowr qarni ka hor sida caadiga ah looma tixgelin inay yihiin daraasado turjumaad ah<unk> malaha sababtoo ah uma sheegin turjubaanada sida loo turjumo.
