English to Croatian: Medieval Times Detailed field: General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Source text - English 400 years ago, millions of common people of Europe learned to read and write through the invention of the printing press and the translation of the first books from Latin into the spoken languages. This ‘liberation from illiteracy’ terminated the medieval times in Europe and ignited what is known today as modern times. No force, no wars, no dictatorship could prevent millions of common people then to give up their right to reading, writing, knowledge and to a dignified life.
The people of the world are waking up to the fact that the same interest groups that continue to allow diseases to kill millions of people for financial gain are the same interest groups that are now dragging mankind into a third world war. And the people of the world are waking up to realize that this health sector is the single most strategic sector to change the fate of our planet towards a healthier and also a more peaceful world. The equation is simple. There are a handful of investors wanting to continue benefiting from diseases and war and there are the interests of more than 6 billion people in a world without disease and without war. The outcome of this battle is certain. We, the people, will win it, but more and more people need to join.
Translation - Croatian Prije 400 godina milijuni običnih ljudi iz Europe naučilo je pisati i čitati putem izuma štamparskog stroja i prvih prevedenih knjiga s latinskoga u govorne jezike. To “oslobođenje od nepismenosti“ dokrajčilo je srednji vijek u Europi i „zapalilo“ ono što se danas zove suvremeno doba. Nikakva sila, ni ratovi, ni diktatura nije mogla onemogućiti milijune običnih ljudi da se odreknu svoga prava na čitanje, pisanje, znanje i na dostojanstven život.
Ljudi svijeta osvješćuju se prema činjenici da iste interesne skupine koje nastavljaju dozvoljavati bolestima da ubijaju milijune ljudi za financijsku dobit, iste su interesne skupine koje sada povlače ljudski rod u treći svjetski rat. Isto tako ljudi svijeta se osvješćuju i dolaze do spoznaje da je taj zdravstveni sektor jedini najvažniji strateški sektor koji će promijeniti sudbinu našeg planeta prema zdravijemu i mirnijem svijetu. Jednadžba je jednostavna. Postoji samo šačica investitora koji žele nastaviti iskorištavati bolesti i ratove, i postoje interesi više od 6 milijardi ljudi u svijetu da žive bez bolesti i bez rata. Ishod te borbe je nedvojben. Mi ljudi ćemo je dobiti, ali sve više i više ljudi mora se pridružiti.
